Evolution alarm notify should really start on log-in. The gnome panel clock/calendar shows these events, for them not to actually trigger an alarm just because you haven't opened the app that edits them seems pretty poor, surely this is one of the major arguments for e-d-s?
This behaviour is also broken for me on Dapper. I've filed a related bug about this, and there's one on Gnome's bugzilla too: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution-data- server/+bug/57318 -- Does not display alarms until I start evolution https://launchpad.net/bugs/62593 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
