Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Reproducibility: Usually, but not always Steps to reproduce: 1. Open KOrganizer; enter a new appointment with an alarm--say, five days in advance. 2. Close KOrganizer. 3. Wait until five days before the appointment. 4. Open KOrganizer. Observed behaviour: 5. KOrganizer pops up two alarm dialogs for the appointment. (See attached screenshot.) Furthermore, the "days/hours/minutes" selector for the topmost alarm dialog does not work; if I click on it with the mouse nothing happens. The other widgets work as normal, as do all the widgets in the second alarm dialog. I suspected that perhaps KOrganizer had entered the appointment twice, but in calendar view only one appointment is visible.
Created attachment 11553 [details] Screenshot showing two reminders for the same event. This screenshot shows KOrganizer immediately upon startup; two alarm dialogs for the same event are visible. I have moved the dialogs so that they are side-by-side; originally they were on top of one another.
Do you log out of KDE between entering the appointment and the alarm date? If not, do you close KOrgac (the reminder daemon) after closing KOrganizer? At first glance I thought this could be related to #102489, which is fixed in 3.4.2, but I'm not sure anymore.
> Do you log out of KDE between entering the appointment and the alarm date? No. The appointment and alarm are entered at the same time. > If not, do you close KOrgac (the reminder daemon) after closing KOrganizer? Yes. KOrganizer, KOrgac, and KDE were all closed. In fact, step #2 could well have read "Shut down the computer", since that's what I did in this case. I shut down my laptop and turned it back on again less than five days before the appointment.

Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created korganizer-devel mailing list.
I don't think this is valid anymore, at least in KDE4. Can you retest? Thanks.
As I reported this bug, I used SuSE with KDE 3.4.1? This was 3 years ago. I do not use this distro anymore. But now with Debian 5.0 and KDE 3.5.9/10 only one dialog exists for all alarms, so the problem seems to be gone, I thought. But in the end I'm not sure, because after the first alarm occurs, I pressed the "dismiss" button for this event (the only one), it was grayed out but the window was not gone. After reopening kontact, the alarm reoccurred! Dismissing it again the item was now deleted and did not occure anymore. I can not say if this is the same error, I did not have any problems with Debian 4.0 and KDE 3.5.5.
I'm the original reporter, and haven't had any recurrence with KDE 3.5.10.

The "dismiss" button was greyed out because you didn't have any alarm selected, if you select a line on the list the button will be enabled.
