Public bug reported:

Tested with calendar-app 0.4.600 on mako vivid r163.

To reproduce, use calendar-app to create an event with a reminder set to
trigger "On Event", then view the ical file in
~/.local/share/evolution/calendar/system/calendar.ics.

calendar-app generates valarms that have an action property, and that's
all good. But as per the spec, the valarm also needs a trigger property.
Without it, the reminder will never get triggered.

This is currently being masked by indicator-datetime's bug #1419001:
it's currently ignoring the trigger property and is unconditionally
notifying at the event start time. The datetime fix should be landing
soon, which will uncover this missing trigger bug as a side-effect.

I'm not sure if this is being caused in calendar-app or in
qtorganizer5-eds.

** Summary changed:

- Events with an "On Event" reminder generate invalid ical
+ Events with an "On Event" reminder don't generate a trigger time

** Summary changed:

- Events with an "On Event" reminder don't generate a trigger time
+ Events with an "On Event" reminder never get a notification

** Description changed:

  VEVENT components generated for an "on event" reminder have no ical
  trigger property, causing the "on event" reminder to not be triggered at
  all. VALARMs with action properties are being generated, so that's all
  good, but as per the spec the valarms must also include a TRIGGER
  component.
  
- This might be either a qtorganizer5-eds bug or calendar-app bug.
+ This is currently being masked by bug #1419001 because a bug in
