Most of the cases where this could happen should be fixed in the
upcoming evolution 1.0.1 as I understand (I haven't seen it with my
current-ish CVS version though I did occasoinally see it before)

The alarm-notify process sticks around so that you can be warned about
appointments even if evolution isn't running.  The multiple copies of
the executive summary (which is the summary view) are just different
