This is nov a very useful report. Please install debugging symbols (so that we can know exactly what happened) and try to reproduce the crash.
Also, does this happen every time ? Do you do something special that causes the crash or not ? Thanks
Can you please attach the file ~/.kde/share/apps/kalarm/displaying.ics (or possibly ~/.kde4/share/....)

I'm getting a crash when starting kalarm (logon or otherwise) and a pending alarm had a sound associated with it: $ kalarm <unknown program name>(9208)/ main: Unknown resource type: "alarms" $ QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.

@robert: I think your issue is a different one (more related to sound/Phonon and PulseAudio). If you can reproduce the crash at will, may you read http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports ; install the proper debuginfo packages, and post a complete backtrace in a *NEW* report ? (you probably need to install the "kalarm-debuginfo" and "phonon-debuginfo" packages )Thanks
Dario: you were right.. my problem has already been fixed (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194745).. thanks..
Christian - In order to investigate this crash, we need a proper crash trace, for which you need to install the debug packages for kdepim and kdelibs. Also, can you please answer comment #2 by Dario. For more information on producing a useful crash trace, see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
Closing as invalid because there is not sufficient information to investigate the bug - the crash trace has no useful information and there are few details about the circumstances of the crash.
