[kontact] [Bug 481024] The loss of user-defined snoozing for calendar and todo reminders is a massive functional regression and actually a hard show-stopper for my kontact usage

Possible Workaround: »kalarm«
==========================

»kalarm« provides all the necessary functionality to set and postpone alarms
(and even some useful additional functionality).

The burning question remains, how to call »kalarm« or create »kalarm« reminders
from »korganizer« reminder events.

Usage of »kalarm« is quite simple – 3 useful variants exist (a matter of
personal preference):

»kalarm -b --edit-new-display -n "Test kalarm" -t 14:50 "Test notification via
kalarm"«
Opens a window to edit the alarm and change various details, the time, etc.

»kalarm -b -n "Test kalarm" -t 14:50 "Test notification via kalarm"«
This will immediately set and trigger an alarm at the given time (which has to
be slightly in the future).
The alarm is presented in a separate window, providing a button, opening a
window for flexible snooze options.

»kalarm -N -b -n "Test kalarm" -t 14:50 "Test notification via kalarm"«
This will immediately set and trigger an alarm as above, but because of »-N«
the alarm
is presented as notification, providing a button, opening a window for flexible
snooze options.
(»-N« can be used in the »--edit-new-display« too, to preselect notification as
method).


(In all variants there is a annoying bug in handling the parameters:
