appt.el (appt-activate 1) in .emacs seems not to work

Hello everybody,

as written in the subject, I have (appt-activate 1) in my
.emacs, but appt.el does not display its reminder windows
for appointsments in my diaryfile for the present day.

I have to do M-x appt-activate twice to get it working.

Why is this? How can it be fixed?

Yours sincerely,

Eric Böse-Wolf

Works for me:

cat ~/diary:
08/21 15:00 do stuff

emacs-22.1 -q --no-site-file --eval '(appt-activate 1)'
and there is my appointment reminder.

I did set european-calendar-style to t by the customization facility, 
and (appt-activate 1) had been before my customization part in .emacs

deleting european-calendar-style from custom-set-variables and writing
(setq european-calendar-style t)
(appt-activate 1)
in .emacs works now for me.
