Description Nick Jenkins 2008-10-29 08:29:48 UTC 
* Initially the Evolution appointments reminder window is set to be "always on top" by default.
* I click the top-left of the reminder window and untick "always on top".
* I close evolution, log out, and reboot.
* The next day, I get a reminder for another appointment, and the window is set to be "always on top" again.

What happens:
* The appointments reminder window does not remember the "always on top" setting.

What should happen:
* The appointments reminder window should remember the "always on top" setting.

Thanks for a bug report. I'm afraid that no application is even capable of such setting, because it's managed by the desktop environment you use. There are properties for developers to instruct the desktop environment to show the window on top, but I still doubt it's saved by the application; I'm not aware of any such at least.

Evolution 3.24.0+ also contains commit [1], which improves the situation, I believe.
