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?
