Birthdays to have alarms

[J. Pablo Fernández]

Binary package hint: evolution

I'm moving from KDE to Gnome, from Kontact to Evolution. One thing I miss a lot is that Kontact would pop up a message (alarm) when a birthday happens according to my address book. Even though Evolution shows the birthdays in the calendar, it never pops up a message, making me miss birthdays. It would be interesting if that was configurable or if it would just include an actual alarm in the calendar birthday entries.
