@John - I was just trying to help...

If you want to use it without recompiling it, do the trick I propose.
It's up to you. I'm not the developer of this app, I'm not going to fix
it. I agree that it's broken, I even click the "Also affect me" link to
confirm it as been a bug. There is a lot more bugs than this one with
this app. For example, every morning, after booting the computer, I have
to go through all the alarms, disable them and re-enable them to reset
the counter. For some reason, all the counters are always random after a
reboot. The app is quite hard to use with all it's bugs, but with a few
quite ugly workarounds, it can be used...

Personally, I don't like the way that Gnome is going. I think they are
trying to re-invent the wheel with their new Unity desktop. I tried
really hard to appreciate it but I cant. I'm loosing so much time
looking for my apps and files, I need a Desktop and an proper app menu
with sub-menus. I installed the gnome-session-fallback package to be
able to use the classic gnome desktop. It seems that a lot of apps, like
alarm-clock, are acting oddly with that "new" classic interface...

Btw, to have the clock in the panel, you need to install the package
"alarm-clock-applet". It will appear in the panel, in the "Indicator
Applet", as soon as you start the alarm-clock application. If you don't
have an "Indicator Applet" in your panel, you can add one by right-
clicking the panel, while pressing Alt and the Meta key (the Windows
key), and choose "Add to Panel...".
