But How would I get notified on a desktop?

Is it possible to get an alert, if the scanner found something?

You can use the script here to get notified by a zenity Notification on your desktop

After installing chkrootkit it adds a crontab within /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit script "I'm using debian wheezy"

each chkrootkit daily execution logs inside a $LOG_DIR/log.today, you can then create a daemon that tracks changes within the log file and send you email or run something to alert you.
