SUMMARY
If a calendar event occurs while the computer is off, or the user is logged off, trigger a notification when the user signs in.
Could be a check that happens on sign-in, and optional for anyone worried about performance or just rather wouldn't want this.

When I put birthdays on my calendar, I set them to happen all day on those days, and remind me "On event start", i.e. 00:00
I try to be asleep by that time, so my computer is naturally turned off :) Therefore it'd be nice to be reminded as soon as I get to work in the morning on my computer.

Of course, this could benefit more use cases than just birthdays.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make an event in Kalendar
2. Set it to notify you on event start
3. Log out before midnight, and log back in after

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no visual reminder that the event started while the user was signed out.

EXPECTED RESULT
A system tray notification that something happened while signed out.

I don't seem to be having this issue anymore, so I'll close it. Maybe it even was a case of PEBKAC.
