Because there's a process started by Gnome very early on called 'evolution-alarm-notify' - that's the process that pops up calendar messages. Remember that Evolution isn't the only process that uses the Evolution calendars - the Gnome calendar that you get by clicking on the date on the top Gnome bar uses them as well so all the Evolution calendar processes need to be started when Gnome starts. > > But, seriously, that is not my problem.

Try turning on the debug variable to show more information if necessary (see https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging).
