Do we have a good alarm clock for the GNOME desktop?

A quick search came up with three solutions.  None of them are Gnome - 
specific, but they should work.

xmms-alarm - which is available via yum
kalarm     - you'll have to install some portion of KDE
DASC       - http://www.davefancella.com/software/dsac.html

I've not tried any of them.  DASC (a Python application) built cleanly 
and started up under Gnome.

just my two cents . . . .
