there's no way to receive wall-messages on GNOME (or KDE) unless you
happen to have a terminal open. Developers probably always have a terminal
or a dozen open at any given time but the casual user might not and thus
simply miss a broadcast from root about system going down in 15min (for
example) which could be nasty.
There's been a bug open about this for a while:

Wall seems to do fine on my systems using KDE.
I must admit that I always have a terminal open, but KWrited picks up
wall messages, and I did not have to ask it to.
