I have implemented an out-of-game message display. A limited number
(currently 10) of oog messages (currently all messages are display)
are display in a fixed location (currently top left corner). After a
certain time (currently 5s) the message is removed making it a FIFO.

I have tried various versions:
 white on transparent black:

 black on transparent white: 
http://freeciv.org/~rfalke/fs3_pics/oog-black-on-white/
 white with black outline:

 black with white outline:

The last one is hardly readable. My current favorite is the second
because it makes the screen a bit brighter.
