I am dumb. The reason alarms weren't firing is that I hadn't actually set any. In the Appointment dialog Reminder tab I set it to "Reminders: Display a message 15 minutes before start of appointment" and didn't realise that that wouldn't actually do anything unless I clicked 'Add' and added it to the list of action/triggers. I figured this out because at some point I must have checked the box in the 'Calendar and Task Settings' dialog that says 'Show a reminder... before every appointment'. The next time I created a new appointment this showed up in the trigger list automatically. I felt much inclined to slink away shamefacedly into the dark, but thought I'd better post this in case someone else who's a little hard of thinking has the same problem. Sorry to have wasted your time... I sort of feel like posting my other question about why Evolution's compose window wraps my text at about thirty characters, thus wasting over two-thirds of the available horizontal space, but I now feel that there must be an option somewhere to fix this. There's one for everything else! John -- "If you sit down at a poker game and don't see a sucker, get up.
