I'm not completely finished, but I thought I'd post this before anyone else
begins work on it to try to prevent any duplicated efforts.

I'm working on an Alarm Notification popup window that will generate when
the sidebar notices appear under Kronolith.

The way it will work is that whenever the sidebar refreshes itself, if a
new alarm appears under Calendar, it will trigger the window (and the
window will generate a sound).

When the user clicks on the window, it will report that there is a new
alarm, and offer them a link to click to view their calendar. Clicking the
link will display the main Horde window.

This will have two assumptions with it-- that they are not running a popup
blocker (or that they add the site to their allowed list), and also that
they have some way of hearing the sound file.

I will post all the necessary code changes and files here when it's
"ready" and tested (this weekend barring any catastrophe on my end), and I
would be thrilled if it could be included in future releases. I'm sure it
will be appreciated by many over the current alarms functionality.
