[gentoo-user] Google calendar notifications in XFCE?

[Grant Edwards]

I've done a bit of googling trying to figure out how to get Google
calendar notifications to display on an XFCE desktop, and haven't
found much.

I've found a few descriptions of how to get notifications using Gnome
Shell or Evolution [don't have/want], and how to get notifications
when you have the chrome browser running [rarely do].

I also found http://sourceforge.net/p/googsystray, but it seems to be
abandoned and hasn't worked on Linux platforms for a year or two.  I
also noticed that the web page says "you will, of course, need to have
a system tray" [AFAIK, I don't].

Does anybody know of any other options for getting Google calendar
notifications on an XFCE desktop?

Maybe app-office/orage would do what you need, not sure.

Orage will pop up reminders for calendar events, but when I looked
through the orage web pages I didn't see anything about syncing to
Google calendar. I should probably do some more looking into that.
