Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  I already have both of those installed and
configured.  I'm not sure, but I believe those packages only detail with
email, not calendar events.  

I believe the notification icon that appears when I have a calendar
event pending is part of evolution-alarm-notify, which I do have enabled
in my Sessions.  Is evolution-alarm-notify specific to Ubuntu?  Perhaps
that is where the issue lies.

Thanks again for your help.  I would love to get this resolved, as I
love how well Evolution integrates into the Gnome desktop.
