[kalarm] [Bug 469757] kAlarm does not function if icon not present in system tray
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469757 --- Comment #3 from David Jarvie --- On my system, KAlarm quits when the main window is closed in these circumstances (as it is supposed to do). Strange... KAlarm is not designed to run as a daemon, so when the application is closed, there is no background task to trigger alarms. If that is what you require, you will need to look for an alternative to KAlarm. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

What you mention is interesting because after closing both the system tray AND the main application, I still see a process in Task Manager called "kalarm --tray". Regardless, it appears that the feature I was hoping for is not supported. I was hoping to eventually kAlarm could become a background process -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
