Yes, as I said, the hook worked fine :-), although the function would
have to be munged so that the notification doesn't pop up
indiscriminately after every evaluation.

Thanks - that's good to know: the fact that it can be applied
selectively to certain code blocks does make it a much better solution
than the hook.

However, there is a problem:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+name: notify
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results none
(shell-command "popup.py DONE")
#+END_SRC

#+name: long-running
#+BEGIN_SRC shell :results output :post notify
sleep 5
echo DONE
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS: long-running
: nil
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The result seems to be the result of the notify block, not the
long-running one.
