You're not running on MS ... ;-)

I think I'm mixing things up (korgac and kalarmd ...)
Try right click on the systray icon and select "quit".

Stop it with right click on systray icon.
I think the simplest way to start it again is to close korganizer and restart 
it. korgac is started by korganizer.

Well, this is kind of MS ...

In korganizer/Settings you find "Show Resourcebuttons". Then on the lower 
leftside you see a list of resources used (but beware - I'm using CVS HEAD, 
it might be different in KDE-3.3). Then use the "Add.." button.

This is also possible from within kcontrol/KDE Components/KDE Resource 
Configuration
