There are a few ways around this, but one option is to put all your
backround reminders that should be persistent and not started by
TkRemind in a file such as "200-bg-reminders.rem".  Then in your main
reminder file, don't include that if Remind is invoked by TkRemind,
which you can test as follows:

IF ! defined("tkremind")
    INCLUDE 200-bg-reminders.rem
ENDIF

Alternatively, you can add extra options for TkRemind to pass to Remind
by clicking on Options and filling them in in "Extra Arguments for Remind"
