I've never used gnome so I don't know how you get something in the
notification area. For the database side, have you considered remind?
Yes its texed-based but you may be able to pipe it to the notification
area.
Or, even though you don't have a palm, what about the pilot series of
software (seems to be one for each DTE). It will do popups and such.
However, all I use it for is backing up my palm. Since palms start at
only about $50 CDN, they have the advantage of beeping at _you_ not the
computer workstation. Handy if you're not there but your palm is near,
well, your palm.
Good luck.
Doug.
