Minor new factoid about the alarm problem. Last night I set the alarm before I went to bed. Later that night, our young one cried and I woke up and noticed that my screen was on. (I have an aging battery and sometimes when I'm charging my N810 overnight I get spontaneous reboots. I'm guessing that's what happened.) I ran the "restart MCE" script (described elsewhere in this thread) and went back to sleep. I woke up an hour after my alarm was supposed to go off. I tapped the screen of my N810 and then the alarm went off. The alarm said 6:20 even though it was clearly 7:10 now. Somehow the system wasn't properly monitoring when to fire the alarm.

To make a long story short, the apparent take-away: don't run "restart MCE" before your alarm goes off.
