It starts upon boot without any problem.

No one of my calendars requires authentication.

Never noticed to happen.

Never noticed to happen neither in Ubuntu nor in Xubuntu. On both I do 
not have any problems to open calendars in Evolution and to manage them 
at any time.

What is the correct way to restart evolution-alarm-notify manually? I've 
tried to do it just by executing /etc/xdg/autostart/evolution-alarm-
notify.desktop. The process started but Evolution could not start at all 
until I rebooted the system.

Well, without a good reliable reminder system Evolution looses a lot. 
Just as an example - being get used to be reminded about my appointment 
in advance, when the problem in discussion showed up at the first time, I 
simply missed an important appointment. :-(

OK. Thanks for your kind response. I were the only one.
