I wonder if it is case of your installing kdebase sets some system
defaults that kalarm then uses. When you remove kdebase, the system
defaults are removed, and kalarm reverts to the program defaults. If
you feel like experimenting, re-install kdebase and kcontrol. Then
run kcontrol as your user, and change the first day of the week,
save the change, and then change it back and save it again. Then
remove kdebase and see if your changes stick. I suspect that this
will create a user config file that kalarm will then use.
