I used to find that ical was really good, except it suffered same problem you describe above regarding logged in. I now use gnomecal[1]. I think the coolest features of this program are: - Can email you reminders as well as flash them on the screen -> prefect if you aren't logged in. - Very flexible for setting up repeating events.
