This appears to be as being fixed in Oneiric (Ubuntu 11.10). Although I agree we could do more (indicator ?), I'm not sure what else needs to be done. I've just been able to confirm in precise (though the packages in Oneiric as extremely similar, unlikely that there is any difference impacting alarms) that alarms cause both the alarm dialog to pop up in front of all windows, despite evolution to be closed (but e -calendar-factory needs to be running, but that's "obvious"), and it also causes a notification bubble to show up. The persistent trace would be the evolution alarm dialog that pops up. Any reason that this is not sufficient, besides the fact that a window popping up might be annoying for some?
