Active (and even inactive) alarms should be displayed in a list at the  
alarms page.

That's exactly what it was made for.

The alarm text (as received from the Horde applications) is displayed  
in the tooltip of the alarm text link that points to object triggering  
the alarm. There no such object when creating global alarms, so there  
is no link, so there is no alarm text.
