There's a bug (144683) against KOrganizer in KDE 3.x, but since I'm running
4.1, I thought I'd better file a new bug report, since I assume that a lot of
the code has changed.

Reminders are simply not reliable. Sometimes they don't fire at all.

I had a reminder set for an event this morning, and I was late because the
reminder didn't fire.

Here is the entry in the calendar file:

Notes:

1. The KOrganizer reminder daemon was running (and still is, and the alarm has
still not fired);
2. I am still logged into the same session as the one in which the event was
created.
