apcupsd should already do something similar at the console. You should
get a warning in your terminal windows stating that you're on battery
and blah blah. You can simply modify  /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol so that
instead of the 'wall' it sends out, it uses gdialog or zenity, which
would give you the popup window you want.
