What I have in mind is not a popup Windows, but to interface the gnome notification system which is pretty unobtrusive or maybe use mumbles (www.* mumbles*-project.org/). Thanks, Marcelo.

I live in Emac= s and just use the remind interface for notifications.
They aren't as obvious (read: annoying) as pop-up windows that steal your mouse and keyboard focus but they work great for me.

What I have in mind is not a popup Windows, but to interface the gnome = notification system which is pretty unobtrusive or maybe use mumbles (www.mumbles-project.org/).

Thanks,

Marcelo.

I live in Emacs and just use the remind interface for notificat= ions.
They aren't as obvious (read: annoying) as pop-up windows that steal your mouse and keyboard focus but they work great for me.

Here's my setup.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-org-agenda-to-appt ()
=A0(interactive)
=A0(setq appt-time-msg-list nil)
=A0(org-agenda-to-appt))

(add-hook 'org-finalize-agenda-hook 'my-org-agenda-to-appt)
(my-org-agenda-to-appt)
(appt-activate t)
(run-at-time "24:01" nil 'my-org-agenda-to-appt)
(run-at-time "00:59" 3600 'org-save-all-org-buffers)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I've seen other setups for reminder windows and apps on this list so yo= u
might want to search the list archives if you need a different solution.
