Awesome! This idea could be extended to add other kind of events, like send emails, SMS, play some audio file, whatever (turn org-mode in a kind of PIM server too.. hmm, lots of cool ideas come to my mind). I still prefer using the gnome-notifier but it shouldn't be hard to adapt it for that.
Well -- the first thing I need to do though is to master elisp :) Thanks! Marcelo.
