 Hi!

 I have managed to install kdepim4 on MacOS 10.14.6 (on a MacBook) to be
 able to use Kalarm. I have come pretty far (jumped through the hoops
 described at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/KDE so the window content
 doesn't flicker anymore etc.).

 Right now my problems are the following:

 1. it seems that the pop-up alarm windows (and in general, all Kalarm
 windows) more often then not seem to behave as if something was in front
 of them - they receive neither keyboard nor mouse input. (If I switch to a
 completely different application then back to the problematic window, that
 sometimes solves this and I can at least close it -- but even then, they
 are not brought in front of their parent window. I can always move them
 with the mouse though!)

 E.g., in the screenshot I can't click on the edit window (which is a child
 of the alarm window), nor on the alarm message window, nor on the main
 Kalarm window (bottom right)

 2. even when I _can_ get the focus on a window, the alt+key combinations
 don't have any effect, e.g., in the alarm message window I can't trigger
 _C_lose either with option-C or control-C or command-C. (Maybe because all
 the option-letter key combinations globally seem to produce weird
 characters, like option-C: ç etc...?) -- this applies to all the buttons
 everywhere, i..e, _E_dit, _D_efer, or _T_ry in the alarm editing window.

 It would be great to solve these issues, because aside from these Kalarm
 seems to work pretty fine!
