I know this isnt specific to Fedora, but I wanted to see if anyone using Kontact on KDE can answer this. When I have events scheduled in KDEOrganizer the alarms dont seem to pop up unless I am in KDEOrganizer screen. I mostly stay in the email screen throughout the day and I wondered if this is normal behavior, or if there is a way to configure it to pop up my event alarms while in KMail mode. -- Richard Humphrey rlhumphrey at gmail dot com "I have a full deck; I'm just a slow shuffler."
