I think these are all very nice ideas, but the question is: how difficult would 
it be to include a
notifier in LyX to notify the user when the update is finished. In my opinion, 
this would be a
useful addition and shouldn't be to difficult to implement.

In the meantime, you could use a scrip instead the default viewer which

a) plays a sound (or use a music ploayer to play your favourite tune?)
b) launches the viewer you want

Cheers,

Rainer
