Thank you, Reinhold.

This bug is a problem specifically for me because of this bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/400857

Here's a scenario: my Internet connection gets interrupted for a while, so korgac's attempts to download my iCal file fail, which pops up an error dialog for every failed attempt.  Then the connection returns, and then a reminder pops up.  Then I return to the computer.  I try to click OK or suspend the reminder, but I can't click any of the buttons, because there are 100 error dialogs that were raised before the reminder dialog.  So rather than click 100 OK buttons and then suspend the reminder, I just kill korgac and restart it.  But then the reminder is history.

Also, IMHO, software should be designed to be as reliable as possible, but a developer shouldn't assume that his app will never crash.  Apps should be designed to be as crash-tolerant as possible.  korgac shouldn't assume the reminder has been seen or acknowledged by the user until the user actually clicks one of the buttons on the reminder dialog.  Apps crash, OS's crash, hardware crashes, power goes out sometimes, people are forgetful, etc.
