Hi mate, thanks for your prompt reply.

certainly.  I create a recurring appointment in Evolution, set an
alarm ok.  When the appointment nears the alarm time i get a very
short alarm in my notification area; lasts maybe 2 or 3 seconds,  Most
of the time i miss the appointment because i never see the alarm.  For
a long time i thought there were *no alarms* at all until i actually
saw one pop up momentarily and then disappear again.  I would expect
that the alarm would stay visible until i dismiss it (eg as in
outlook).

> The icon should be displayed until you click on it

This is certainly not the case, they dismiss themselves almost
instantly.

Thanks again, i hope we can work this out; it's a bit of an issue for
me as i can't rely on Evolution as a calendar app.

"..The exceeding beauty of the earth, in her splendor of life, yields
a new thought with every petal. The hours when the mind is absorbed by
beauty are the only hours when we really live, so that the longer we
can stay among these things so much the more is snatched from
inevitable Time. These are the only hours that are not wasted - these
hours that absorb the soul and fill it with beauty. This is real life,
and all else is illusion, or mere endurance.." - Richard Jefferies
