You've apparently been logged in to KDE as root once, or done other
weird stuff as root.  You may wish to look through /root/.kde* for
things to salvage, and then delete it all.  And look through ~/.kde
for files with root ownership (cd ~/.kde; find . -user root).

You're quite right.  I hadn't realized it, but I was apparently root when
I was exploring this before: I found that missing alarm that I entered
when the alarms didn't show up.  So it was operator error all along --
if I had just been my usual self, everything would have been normal.
I had been working as root a lot to rebuild KDE, and just lost track, I
guess.  My bad.

Sorry for the excitement.  Thanks for the help.

Everything is normal again.


When you now log back in to KDE (as user, of course), is there again
a kalarmd process owned by root?

What I meant here, of course, is to press F1 while in the Kalarm
window.  :)
