In Gnome, you can use gnome-osd-client to replace the "naughty" bit.
gnome-osd-client actually works with most window managers; I use it
with ratpoison to have emacs appt notifications appear on-screen, as
suggested by Richard Riley.

To replace the lua code which adds font information to the text
generated by org's agenda output, you could use any of the scripting
languages (perl, say).  

Finally, I'm not sure about how to make Gnome's window manager
(enlightenment?) respond to the mouse hovering over any particular
part of the screen but you could easily bind a key to the script which
would invoke the gnome-osd-client command to pop up the agenda
instead.

HTH.
