gpe-calendar disables touch-screen

[William Kenworthy]

I found this doesnt happen if I restart atd immediately after booting
the phone - only has to be done once before running gpe-calendar (or
ffalarms) for the first time.  Also see my similar answer to ffalarms
also having problems with atd on shr.

I would like a solution to the the gpe-alarm going off and being unable
to ack it or do anything at all.  All I can do is remove the battery,
boot phone an restart atd - the start gpe-calendar and try and ack the
alarm :(

Probably atd is being started too early in the boot process ...
