Thats exactly what I was trying to figure out. I've got one last problem, then I'll post the complete howto somewhere... I'm kicking off zenity (GUI notification window) via shell-command and putting it in the background. Emacs keeps opening a new window called *Async Shell Command*, even though I thought I disabled that by passing nil to the output buffer argument. Any suggestions? Thanks.
