I think the easiest way is to check if there is a reminder daemon in the 
system tray next to the notifications "bell", the clipboard, the volume 
thingy, etc. If yes, then the old one is still operative in your system. 
Otherwise, the new one is probably operative.

To be absolute sure run
ps aux | grep [k]orgac
and
ps aux | grep [k]alendarac
in Konsole to find out whether korgac (and/)or kalendarac is running. If 
neither is running, then you may have to start korgac manually. I think 
currently kalendarac should always start automatically.

To be honest, since korgac has been replaced in our latest release and thus 
has reached its end of life, and since our resources are very limited, it's 
likely that nobody will fix bugs in korgac anymore.
