[Gpe-list] Fwd: Patch for gpesummary to start gpecalendar when an alarm occurs

[Christoph Würstle]

Hi,
thanks for the updates...I just commeted a patch, which removes the 
refresh button (because it didn't work any more) and a small feature: if 
the todo-db changes, gpe-summary also refreshes. Hope it works also for 
you as expected. If not please revert the patch.

Chris
