So, orgmode timers have a nice popup when they run out; on my KDE, it's gentle GUI-box (not emacs) that nicely rises and falls. I would love to have this as how my appt reminders work, instead of the ugly minibuffer screeching; but looking through the org-timer code didn't give me any ideas. How can I achieve this?

org-timer uses org-notify for this (which is in org-clock.el). It seems
that appointments, on the other hand, use appt.el. Specifically,
appt-display-message is used to show the message. Perhaps you could set
appt-disp-window-function to a function that uses org-notify.
#+begin_src elisp
(defun org-notify-display-appt (min-to-app new-time appt-msg)
"Use `org-notify' to display an appointment.
You can use this for `appt-disp-window-function'.
`appt-display-format' should be set to 'window, and
`appt-delete-window-function' should be a function that does
nothing."
;; FIXME: Update the message to incorporate MIN-TO-APP. See
;; `appt-disp-window'.
(org-notify appt-msg))
(setq appt-disp-window-function #'org-notify-display-appt)
(setq appt-delete-window-function (lambda nil))
#+end_src
This seems to work when using appt-display-message directly.
#+begin_src elisp
(appt-display-message "test" 1)
#+end_src
I think this should work with Org appointments, but I haven't tested it
(and I don't use appointment reminders myself, so perhaps I'm missing
something). In any case, hopefully that gives you somewhere to start.

This blogpost demonstrates the usage of org-agenda-to-appt:

Instead of a sound I call notify-send for example.
