Thanks for the hint!  It seems that although I had it configured so, something 
is not right.  In particular kalarm comes up with this error when I click on 
edit:
==============================
Calendar “localdir-resource” cannot be made writable since it either was not 
created by KAlarm, or was created by a newer version of KAlarm
==============================

Trying to start akonadi also complains about:

<unknown program name>(7008)/ main: Unknown resource type:  "notes" 
<unknown program name>(7009)/ main: Unknown resource type:  "alarms"

This is my knotes local path:

$ ls -la /home/michael/.kde4/share/apps/knotes/
total 1
drwx------  2 michael users  80 Nov 22 22:56 .
drwx------ 35 michael users 944 Nov 22 23:07 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 michael users   0 Nov 22 22:56 notes.ics

and this is the kalarm:

$ ls -la /home/michael/.kde4/share/apps/kalarm/
total 5
drwx------  2 michael users  80 Nov 22 23:05 .
drwx------ 35 michael users 944 Nov 22 23:07 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 michael users 104 Nov 22 23:05 displaying.ics


For kalarm I have chosen "localdir-resource" and the path to the directory is 
as shown above.  No matter what I do in terms of access rights kalarm always 
retains its "Read only" setting activated.  I deleted it kalarm and then let 
kalarm to recreate it.  Finally I created the directory "alarms" and tried 
pointing the resources path to it.  No joy.  Any suggestions?
