Thanks for pointing that out to me, Anne.  I wasn't aware of the 
distinction.  You were right: ps aux | grep korganizer and korgac showed 
me that only the latter was running.  However, even once the latter was 
killed and the former launched, the minimised system tray icon on the 
Gnome panel wasn't opened (activated?) by my mouse.  I have to either 
kill that process and relaunch or wait until a reminder pops up.

In short, whatever the actual difference between korgac and korganizer 
(which I wasn't aware of), there doesn't appear to be a difference in 
terms of the specifics of the problem.

Anything else I can consider?

Cheers

Andy
