Do we have a good alarm clock for the GNOME desktop?

[Rogue <roguexz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

First up, I am surprised that there is no in-build alarm clock feature 
in the OS. I guess, I had expected that such trivial functionality would 
already be present. I tried searching through yum, but was unable to 
locate any applet that provided this functionality.

Now, for the real question, is there any good alarm-clock applet that I 
could use for the GNOME desktop? Currently I am using the command line 
sleep command to achieve what I want, but then it is rather cumbersome.

Using evolution is not really a nice option, but if there is no other 
alternative, then I guess, I shall have to make do with it. I just 
wanted ask the list if there are good alternatives, before I churned out 
my java-based application.

thanks,
Rogue
