Following comments in another bug discussion, I ran <code>cd; gconf-editor</code> and noticed that apps->evolution->calendar->notify->calendars == [] while apps->evolution->calendar->display->selected_calendars == [1177098729.11452.8@rwilbur-desktop,1177098903.11452.24@rwilbur-desktop]

So, I thought I might as well try to populate the notify->calendars[] list with the names of the calendars as they appear in display->selected_calendars[]. First, I tried to copy and paste text from the "Configuration Editor" window without success. Then I typed the names into a text editor and then right-clicked on notify->calendars[] and selected "Edit Key". Finally, I clicked "+Add" for each calendar name and pasted the text in from my text editor window, clicked "OK", and then "Quit". I restarted Evolution, created a test appointment on the Exchange calendar to occur in 17 minutes and happily received a notification in 2 minutes (15 minutes before the appointment)!

Now, the remaining question is, "Why does the local Personal calendar give alarm/notification/reminder without being listed in notify->calendars[]?" Even more troubling, "Why aren't any calendars listed in notify->calendars[] when two are selected in the preferences for both display and notification?"
