[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Events created in iCal with alarm do not trigger Notification on PPC

[Dave Nanian]

I've absolutely had exactly the same problem, quite consistently. It 
doesn't occur with "real" ActiveSync to a PC, and I'm pretty sure I 
know why.

Real "ActiveSync" fires off a Notification event called 
"ActiveSyncDone" (or something similar) on the Pocket PC when it's 
done. Calendar applications use this event/notification to rescan the 
calendar databases to check for new alarms.

It doesn't look like Missing Sync for Pocket PC generates this 
notification when it's done synchronizing the calendars and ToDo items. 
Doing so should solve the problem.
