Better idea:  a generic alarms API, with an alarm daemon that both a panel
applet and the PIM can talk to; it is occasionally nice to be able to run a
PIM in text mode.  Bonus points for the alarm daemon being system-wide, so I
don't log into CEDA's Sun box to find 50 alarm daemons running :-) (although
security issues might scuttle that)
