After waiting for hours and several reboots later, I am still seeing all
my old Google Calendar reminders.   I disabled all the calendars in
Online Account and verified that they were not in Evolution any longer.
Upon reboot I am still seeing endless reminders for my Google Calendar
which I can guess from top (they are chewing CPU) are from libnotify-
osd.

As much fun as it is re-living the events from the last couple of years,
it is somewhat annoying and chews GPU moderately enough with the fade
in/out to slow down things in a noticeable way.

So I killed libnotify-osd which gives me a two second break, after which
it respawns and the messages/reminders are back.  I really have no idea
how to stop these things.   It may be worth noting I had google accounts
(that I removed) already configured in evolution during the upgrade and
I have switched to using the Online Accounts interface.

Title:
  Google Calendar reminders display unnecessarily

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I add my google calendar account through the new Online Accounts
  feature I get an endless stream of notifications for all my calendar
  events going back some time .. perhaps a year.   Even after un-
  checking setting in the Calendar for "Show reminder notifications",
  shutting down using evolution --force-shutdown, cleaning up any evo
  processes and purging the .cache/evolution/calendar directory,  the
  reminders do not stop flooding in.    I expect it will be a long time
  until I stop getting them, since there are probably several a day
  going back years .. in multiple calendars.
