Is kalarmd and cron running? Check out: man kalarmd and there might be
something there of use.

I don't use Suse but Kanotix and it works fine for me.

There is apparently no man page for kalarmd - at least not in my
installation/distribution; anyway, I tried to delete the existing calendar
file (including my appointments!) and create a new one - and now I'm
getting proper visual and aural alarms again (wonder for how long, though?)

It's all a bit confusing: I don't understand the distinction between
'korgac' and 'kalarmd' - and no matter what I do, there seems alwawys to be
(at least?) two 'storage files' in the KOrganizer folder (right now I have
'kalender.ics' + 'std.ics'!)

Two files seem to cause a (potential?) risk that I store my events in one
file and the alerts in another!
