When I create an event or task with a popup alarm, I get a popup alert box
immediately after creating it.  The alert has the name of the event, with the
date, time, and word "floating".  The alert only pops up after creation of the
event, and NOT at the time it should go off.  

As well, I can only get rid of the alert box by clicking the "Dismiss all" or
"close" button - not "snooze").

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create event or task
2.Set popup alarm
3.

Actual Results:  
Alert pops up immediately after creation and not when it should.

Expected Results:  
Alerted me at the appropriate time, and not after event creation.

Probably fallout from bug 306982.  Could possibly be from bug 298359.  We
probably want this to block 0.3a1 as well. mvl, thoughts?

Ok, I did a little testing on this and I guess I can shed some more light on
this. Testing happened with the 20051020 nightly on WinXP.

This bug only occurs for me, when I create an event on the current day.

So let's say it is the 2005-10-22 - 8:00 AM. I create an event lasting from
13:00-14:00 and I want an alarm popup 15 minutes before the event begins. Right
after I created the event the alarm popup comes up.

If I create the same event for 13:00-14:00 on 2005-10-23 the alarm popup does
not show up.

Does it fire upon daychange or at the correct time?

Attachment: use the right units

Actually, the alarms are not fired at creating, but just way too soon. Event
creted for the next day will also fire the alarm, but you have to wait longer.
The cause: a mixup of units. A delay is passed in in seconds, while the timer
assumes it is msec. Which mean the even will fire in 1000msec, instead of
1000sec....
