Are you sure?  I don't see anything about display-time in that info
node.  And if I start Emacs without reading the initialization files,
do (appt-activate 1) without display-time, and add some appointments I
get alerts.

This is with GNU Emacs 22.0.50.7; perhaps it is different in
earlier versions? Or in Xemacs?
