Comment 11 for bug 331347

I am expecting the most intuitive reminder behavior in presence of alarms and alarm snooze function.

IDEAL BEHAVIOR: If a user chooses the option "Display again in N minutes" and the PC is switched off, *ideally* PC should switch on once N minutes are elapsed and should show again the notification (it is the common behavior of any smart device, cellphones, smart-phones, but also of simple alarm clocks).

CONSTRAINT: Since we are talking of a PC there is a remarkable constraint: PC can't (and maybe shouldn't) switch on automatically when the notification occurs.

If you keep the most intuitive alarm behaviour described above and add the previous constraint, the resulting behavior should sounds as the following:

CONCRETE BEHAVIOR: If a user chooses the option "Display again in N minutes" and the PC is switched off, *concretely* notification will be shown as soon as possible, when the PC is switched on again (a.k.a. immediately after reboot).

After all this is the behaviour adopted by the main reminder/notification software.
