2) When I run FlipClock I get a screen that shows a minimized mouse pointer for a bit, and then FlipClock exits. Since I am not sure if it has installed correctly, I've uninstalled.
2) It would help if you mentioned what device and software you were trying to install it on. Perhaps we could help you determine if it was installed correctly.

1) alarmd is the maemo alarm subsystem. Being integrated with alarmd means that if you set an alarm, it will still go off even if FlipClock isn't running and even if the device is turned off (it will turn on and sound the alarm). I believe that there is a setting (config file) that can turn this off so alarms only work when FlipClock is running.
