evolution-alarm-notify has to be kept around, for calendar alarms, and
since it uses the wombat for the calendar, it also keeps
evolution-wombat around. So, those 2 processes are saved in the session,
which is what they are supposed to do.

There is a bug in Ximian's bugzilla about making it exit if there are no
alarms. But if so, we need a way to restart the alarm daemon at some
interval in the future to check for new alarms.
