I filed a bug against the server.

Hello

I just created an event without a gd:reminder element with this query:

</entry>

Notice how the <gd:when> item does not have any reminders. Now I get a
response that contains the following <gd:when>:
--------------------------------------------------------
<gd:when startTime='2006-09-12T00:00:00.000+02:00'
endTime='2006-09-12T02:00:00.000+02:00'><gd:reminder
minutes='10'></gd:reminder></gd:when>
--------------------------------------------------------

I have set a default reminder of 10 minutes in the UI, so it is
comprehensable why the reminder shows up, but there should be a way to
create an event with the API without setting a reminder. I suggest
sending a <gd:when> that contains no <gd:reminder> should not create
one, even if the UI has a default reminder. You could still supply the
default reminder through the feed of available calendars or such.

Please sort this one out, parts of my code are depending on it.
