[debian-user] Evolution no longer providing calendar notification unless uder desktop environment (unstable)

[Javier Vasquez <j.e.vasquez.v@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

If you take a look at the debian bug 588552, you'll notice that as of
now Evolution (2.30.3-1) needs
"/usr/lib/evolution/2.30/evolution-alarm-notify" to be running in
order to provide events notifications and the like.

Problem is that evolution doesn't start this process, and now it
relies on the desktop manager doing that, such as gnome, xfce and the
like (/etc/xdg/autostart/evolution-alarm-notify.desktop).

I don't like desktop managers, and I just use plain fluxbox.  So I'm
thinking on creating my own fluxbox entry menu where I start Evolution
and evolution-alarm-notify.desktop within the same entry.

If anyone has faced it already, what other options are there for plain
window managers (no desktop managers)?

Thanks,
