As an alternative, you might want to put the info in the mode line.
This is what I use:
(defun show-in-mode-line (text &optional buffer)
"Display TEXT in BUFFER's mode line for 10 sec (or until user event).
Note: This sits for 10 sec or until a user event, so call this last in
a sequence of user-visible actions."
(with-current-buffer (or buffer (current-buffer))
(make-local-variable 'mode-line-format)
(let ((mode-line-format text))
(force-mode-line-update) (sit-for 10))
(force-mode-line-update)))
