BYPASS -- it seems to work, at least we got some positive responses, and no negative ones (Gnome users):
1. Go to System/Preferences/Sessions;
2. select the "Startup Programs" tab;
3. unselect the "Evolution Alarm Notifier" tab;
4. select the "Current Session" tab;
5. click on the "program" header; this will order the entries alphabetically;
6. highlight *all* e-a-n entries (there might be more than one), and click on the Remove button;
7. Click on the Apply button;
8. close the Sessions applet.
9. Reboot (not really needed, but just in case).
10. login again. You should be free of the E-D-S loop.
DRAWBACK: no calendar notification is available (e-a-n is the program that checks for it).

THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION, JUST A BYPASS.
