OK, I've finally made some progress on this. The functionality works as
follows:

1. Set an event with an alarm.
2. Add the Calendar Summary block to your portal page... set a 1-5 minute
Refresh.
3. Return to the Portal page and when the alarm is set to trigger, the
next block refresh will generate the popup window.

Now, that said... the limitation to this implementation is that it is
forced... it is not a preference, as I have no idea how to approach that
right now. With some guidance, I am willing to code it. Otherwise, I'll
leave that to you guys as the experts.

Also, the popup itself is very basic... no event details, just a "hey! you
have an event! click here for your calendar!". This is something I'll add
later unless someone else wants to do it sooner.

If there are any modifications that anyone wants to make before
implementation, by all means make them... this is just something quick to
have the functionality.

The code can be reused elsewhere besides the Summary block... it can
easily be added to the other views, and I plan on adding it to the Nag
summaries soon... At some point, I can see this becoming part of the
sidebar menu for Kronolith.

Finally, might want to replace the wav with something else... I hawked the
Microsoft Office reminder.wav for the time being.
