Choosing Options->Calendar->Notifications->Popup Notifications leads  
to a javascript alert every time you browse to a new page once an  
alarm has fired.

Steps to repeat:
  1. Set your kronolith notification type to Popup Notification
  2. Create an event with an alarm and wait for it to fire
  3. Click OK to dismiss (snooze?) the alarm
  4. Navigate to another page within horde
  5. Alarm will popup again

Main Issue:
The alarm is not being dismissed or snoozed when you click the OK  
button, and it's not obvious what should happen when only one choice  
is given.

Possible Solutions:
  1. Provide a more robust popup window and not just a JavaScript  
alert.  This probably won't work as most modern browsers enable popup  
blocking by default.
  2. Dismiss the alarm when a user clicks OK.  This is probably the  
most logical solution though it still isn't obvious that dismissal is  
the requested action.
  3. Provide a confirm dialog instead of an alert, Cancel could cause  
a snooze of some default length, OK could dismiss the alarm.
