OK, I just didn't want to use any startup script such the same fluxbox one, or ~/.xsession, or ~/.xinitrc. The reason being is that I'd prefer anything Evolution depends upon to be called when invoking Evolution. I don't call Evolution always that I start X, :-) But it's good to know I can

Hi all, If you take a look at the debian bug 588552, you'll notice that as of now Evolution (2.30.3-1) needs /usr/lib/evolution/2.30/evolution-alarm-notify to be running in order to provide events notifications and the like. Problem is that evolution doesn't start this process, and now it relies
