Thanks, that helped. I found my calendar file had not even been disturbed. |
| 16 |
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 |
| 19 |
shows, but nothing else. This is the situation that made me think I had |
| 20 |
lost everything. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
However, I continue to get on-screen alerts according to the original |
| 23 |
calendar. In spite of the fact that I logged off to rebuild KDE (logged in |
| 24 |
again under fluxbox to do it), and have now re-logged into KDE. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So: my file !/.kde/share/apps/kalarm/calendar.ics is actually the old one. |
| 27 |
Why is a new instance of kalarm not seeing it? What exactly is running |
| 28 |
in the background to give me the old alarms? How do I get them to |
| 29 |
talk to each other again? |

Color me amazed. |
