You mean Severn/FC test2.  Fedora Core 2 will be the second full release 
of Fedora Core; Fedora Core 1 isn't even out yet.

This is a feature, and I think evolution has always done this (nothing new 
to Severn about this).  As you might guess "evolution-alarm-notify" is 
there to notify you about alarms that you might have set in your calendar.  
If this wasn't running, you wouldn't get notified about calendar alarms.  
It doesn't cause any problems in my experience, though I suppose if you 
never use the alarm feature you could look into disabling it.
