Yeah, I'm just acknowledging that I'm not a Ximian developer, so you don't have to accept my feedback any more than you'd have to accept a patch from me (although obviously, I hope you would accept either ;o) > > in addition, I also sync my calendar with a palm PDA. 99.99% of the > > time, I first get notified of an event by my PDA.

I.e. if I get notified (redundantly) on my laptop, then I sync my laptop's ~/evolution directory to the other machines, I already won't get notified multiple times. If I don't sync, the backend can't possibly know that I've been notified on another machine, so I'll get redundantly notified again. > so, you want to disable notifications globally, but still have > notifications for some events? No, I don't want to affect the notification property of individual events. Rather, I simply want to tell a particular instance of evolution to not display event reminders. For example, it'd be nice if I could tell the evolution running on my workstation(s) to ignore the "reminder" properties of events, and to never notify me of anything. Yet I don't want this setting to modify the reminder properties of individual events (so that I'll still get notifications on my PDA and laptop, for example). Does that make sense?
