More specifically, it's producing UTF8-encoded output; but xmessage is  
ancient and doesn't speak UTF8, only ISO8859-1. Possibly just forcing  
LANG=C on ghc would work --- but I'm not sure if that would then disallow  
UTF8 in source files (ghc's encoding handling is a little strange for  
historical reasons).

We could use zenity or Xmessage, but those depend on gtk2/3.
