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.
