Display fortunes instead of hints

  fortunes is a small program that displays random quotes. The mate startup hints application can display fortunes quotes instead of tips.

Display message of the day instead of hints

  Often times administrators will create a "message of the day" ("MOTD") to notify users of important events. The mate startup hints application can display these instead of tips.

  Most of the time, `/etc/motd` holds the motd. If the file is different from `/etc/motd`, you can edit that in the Message of the day file to use field.
