Please describe the problem:
First off, I don't know if this bug report is valid, but after asking in #gnome
and #evolution - and nobody able to tell me - I thought I'd file this bug.

What I want is that I get notification for birthdays. The calendar displays the
dates of my contact's birthdays just fine, but I can't seem to find a way to
give me an alarm or notification popup, say, one day before the birthday. What
confuses me are the preferences

Preferences -> Calendar and Tasks -> General: 
Show a reminder 1 day bevore every appointment

and

Preferences -> Calendar and Tasks -> Alarms:
[x] Birthdays

One would think one of these would do what I wanted to achieve?

So now my question, am I doing something wrong or is this really not possible
with current evolution?

Does this happen every time?
