Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux The kalarmd icon that is continuesly shown in the system tray does not have the little yellow popup window telling what it is and does. It is the yellow popup window that should appear when the mouse is placed above the icon for some time. The other apps in the system tray show the popup. On a side note, what is the difference between kalarm and kalarmd? If I start kalarm a clock (icon) is shown in the system tray as well. If kalarm is activated do I need kalarmd...?
Can you please tell me which version of KAlarm you are running, and which version of KDE you are running on. Is it a kdepim package, or a standalone KAlarm package? kalarmd is the alarm daemon which monitors alarms and when one is due, it notifies kalarm which then displays the message or performs whatever action you specified. KAlarm needs kalarmd to be running, or alarms will never trigger. Note that kalarmd is also (up till now at least) used by KOrganizer.

Can you please send me your KAlarm configuration file, "kalarmrc", which will be in the ~/.kde/share/config directory (or similar). Also, has the yellow popup never appeared for KAlarm, or did it work previously?

No, it never worked before.
Please send me "kalarmrc" (not kalarmdrc).
Sorry, for providing the incorrect file. Here is the right one; ~/.kde/share/config> cat kalarmrc [General] Sod=-2109401552 [MainWindow Toolbar mainToolBar] Index=0
Are you sure that the icon which has no popup is the kalarmd icon? I think it may actually be the korgac icon which you are talking about. What is the title of the menu displayed when you right-click on the icon?
> What is the title of the menu displayed when you right-click on the icon? It says: korganizer alarm deamon What is it now, the korganizer icon or the alarm deamon icon ;)
This report relates to KOrganizer, not KAlarm. I have changed the title of the report accordingly.
Many system tray icons don't have a tooltip, but of course it would be nice to have one.
