Recover ~/.kde/share/apps/kalarm/calendar.ics .

Thanks, that helped. I found my calendar file had not even been disturbed.
But this means things are a bit stranger than they first appeared.
When I start kalarm, it does not show any items. If I add an item, it
shows, but nothing else. This is the situation that made me think I had
lost everything.
However, I continue to get on-screen alerts according to the original
calendar. In spite of the fact that I logged off to rebuild KDE (logged in
again under fluxbox to do it), and have now re-logged into KDE.
So: my file !/.kde/share/apps/kalarm/calendar.ics is actually the old one.
Why is a new instance of kalarm not seeing it? What exactly is running
in the background to give me the old alarms? How do I get them to
talk to each other again?
Color me amazed.
