The way this works in the development version (CVS HEAD) is that that
there's a checkbox in the "approve" box which says "Don't ask me about
this program again," so you have to approve each binary only once.  I
agree, however, that there should be a way to set that bit when you
define the alarm, rather than the first time it runs.  I'll try to whip
up a patch when I get a chance...

I'm not sure how this works at all in 1.0.x, however, so my advice may
not help you unless you're compiling from CVS.  (And my patch almost
certainly won't...)
