Questions From A Potential User (Linux)

[tinker1234]

Hi,

I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6, with the GNOME desktop.

My office uses Google Office. I've missed meetings because I never see the popup reminders from Google Calendar if I working in other applications.

I need a reminder program that will put a pop up reminder on my screen, dead center, on top of any other window that might be opened.

I tried Thunderbird & Lightening out this morning and the alert window was under other windows I had up.

Is there anyway I can get Lightening reminders to pop up on top of all windows?

Can I set Lightening up to sync with Google Calendar automatically, for example every time it is started?
