(Although bear in mind that if you access the address book from KAlarm, it does use Akonadi.) I'm pretty sure that the default version of kalarm which is supplied with openSUSE 11.3 will be ok. I'd only expect any Akonadi problems for kalarm if you updated to the latest kdepim, which includes kalarm version 2.6.x.

And I now see that the build file for 4.6 actually does erroneously build the Akonadi version by default, which is not what I thought it did. This is now fixed in the KDE repository, but it will take time to reach the openSUSE packages.
