[Bug 34966] Alarms do not work in Evolution

Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
No matter where I create my alarms (either in my Personal calendar or in
my Exchange calendar) I don't get any notification.  In previous
versions of Evolution, this worked great and I would get a dialog pop up
at a preset time before the appointment (I set this to 5 minutes).
Without this feature I might as well use the Open Web Access feature of
Exchange; Evolution is not giving me anything extra (and it's pretty
buggy in general).

I definitely do have the box asking for an alarm to be checked, both in
the general preferences AND in the specific appointment.  I also have my
system on all the time, and running Evolution all the time, so it's not
anything to do with not generating alarms that went by while the system
was off.  I can create an appointment to happen in a few minutes, in any
of my calendars, and never get the alarm.
