Timer applet, alarm applet?

[wwp]

Hey all!

I've given a try to the timer applet (1.2, FC5/GNOME). Does anyone know a
similar GNOME applet for reminders/alarms? The timer applet only does
countdowns, and I'd like to set similar alarms at fixed date/time for
instance.

Any hint?

Regards,

I'm pretty sure that kalarm and ktimer will run in gnome.

Hm ktimer is exactly the same as the gnome timer applet (not what I want so),
but kalarm, which sounds interesting to me, unfortunately doesn't show in the
gnome panel: he daemon runs, kalarm when launched manually and alarms raise,
but even w/ --tray it doesn't show in panel.

Thanks anyway!

Although it's KDE and not Gnome, KAlarm has worked very well for me -- even 
when I was running a Gnome desktop. You can set it tell you that the coffee 
will be done in ten minutes, or to perpetually remind you that Friday is 
payday. I'm not sure if it is available as a separate rpm, or if it is part 
of a kde package.

Evolution includes a full-featured event calendar with popup reminders.
