Thanks for posting the workaround.

If you're willing I'd like to investigate why the popup notifications 
did not work for you out-of-the-box. What version of apcupsd are you 
running? Did you upgrade to that version or was it the first install? 
Also, did you do anything like install via remote desktop or terminal 
services?

Thanks!
