Description p92 2003-02-08 13:33:33 UTC

Version:           0.8.4 (using KDE 3.1.0)
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.1-6mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21pre4-1mdkenterprise

I had a problem after lauching kalarm because I was unable to activate alarms by clicking on the kalarm mini-icon (it stayed red crossed).

I then killed kalarm and kalarmd

after that I ran kalarm again

kalarmd is OK
kalarm appears
alarms triggers

but there is no icon on the tray and the followin error on the console :
$ kalarm
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KActionCollection::KActionCollection( QObject *parent, const char *name, KInstance *instance )
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::updateShortcut(): name = "alarmenable", cut = Ctrl+E; No KAccel, probably missing a parent collection.

my rpm levels are :
rpm -qa 'kde*'

Please confirm that you tried to activate alarms by right clicking on the system tray icon 
and then selecting the Alarms Enabled context menu item. Also, was kalarmd running 
either before or after you tried to do this? 
 
Your attachment shows that KAlarm runs only on demand. In this mode, the system tray 
icon is not displayed unless either: 
 
1) KAlarm is activated at login and the "Autostart system tray icon at login" option is 
selected (which your attachment shows to be the case), or 
 
2) KAlarm is activated manually and the menu option "View -> Show in system tray" is 
selected. 
 
So, after restarting KAlarm manually, the system tray icon would not be expected to 
appear automatically. 
 
Please note that the console error messages don't matter, and are not relevant to what you 
report.

Fixed for KDE 3.1.1. It was already fixed in HEAD (although I didn't realise it!)
