Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution
evolution-alarm-notify gets automatically started in KDE sessions. This is usually unwished for because KDE comes with it's own alarm notification system. Proposed fix: Add a OnlyShowIn=GNOME; line in /etc/xdg/autostart/evolution-alarm-notify.desktop This is in current Feisty and only appears if you have evolution (for example as part of ubuntu-desktop) and KDE installed together. This issue was introduced in kdelibs (4:3.5.6-0ubuntu4) with the patch kubuntu_68_xdg_autostart.diff PS: I dunno much about XFCE. If Evolution is also the default PIM application of XFCE, the above line should read OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE; as in most other files under /etc/xdg/autostart ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Evolution alarm notify should not autostart in KDE https://launchpad.net/bugs/85834 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
