Thanks, not happy that it's not possible, but I am happy to know one way or
the other.

I don't know.  I'll check on Ubuntu forums.  Actually, what I notice is
there is a temporary pop-up in the lower right corner of my desktop, but it
only shows for a few seconds before going away.  From that point, I see the
Evolution notification icon in the notification area of my panel.  When I
left-click this, THEN the Appointments window pops up on my screen
permanently (until I close it manually).  Which pop up window are you
refering to, the temporary one in the lower right corner, or the one that
says Appointments in the top panel and stays until manually dismissed?
