I have also seen some weirdness in the reminders (Evolution 1.1.2.99). 
Like everytime I sync with my Palm, I see all reminders from the last
several days.  Check bugzilla.ximian.com to see if there is a bug open
against it.

Changes made to KDE and Korganizer are completely unrelated and will not
impact Evolution functionality in any way.

AFAIK, Evolution does not use any Gnome alarm daemon, it has it's own. 
So setting anything in the Gnome system would most likely have no
impact.
