Yes. Thanks :-) I have it set in the Applications menus, so seldom bring
it up from the cli.

When I click the clock I can set the snooze etc. For calendar notify I have:
calendars unchecked/empty
last_notification_time 1241200800 (although the notification ran today)
notify_with_tray checked
programs unchecked/empty

Unfortunately for the most part "Evolution" seems to be more of
'Intelligent Creator/anti-Darwin' for me; some things work well, others
remain a mystery...
