If you can update to 1.2 there is a checkbox, at least for the rules, to
select to trust this application. So you  have to do this exercise only
once. Can't remember if that is required from calendar. Here is why, I
have written some extension for evolution, one allows you to send a
"reminder" via email for am alarm to people in the contact list of
calendar for that alarm.  It also allows the use of the alarm summary as
arguments to an application run from a rule or alarm or as the mail.  If
you want to use it, your are more than welcome. But have to wait for
evolution after the gnome2 port to include it, or parts thereof. The
port has  absolute priority. For now you have to compile your own
evolution to use it.  I use it get important info via SMS, when I'm not
at my system to watch it.

Sorry don't know. I don't use my palm anymore all important stuff is
filtered and send via SMS to my cell.
