Try the following instead:
(setq appt-display-format 'window)
(setq appt-disp-window-function (function my-appt-disp-window))
(defun my-appt-disp-window (min-to-app new-time msg)
(call-process "/home/nick/bin/popup.py" nil 0 nil min-to-app msg new-time))
This one calls my home-grown ``popupper'', so just change the string to
call zenity, and change the args to what is needed. The 0 in the "nil 0
nil" part means discard any output and don't wait for the process to
finish - see the documentation for call-process for more details.
For more, check the list archives or worg: I had posted my method for
popups to the list and Bastien has apparently put a pointer to it on
worg somewhere.
HTH,
Nick
