In particular, after deleting an event the file on disk still contains the 
event (in undeleted state) until KOrganizer decides to re-write the resource 
file -- which might be a while. Backups will be wrong and power outages will 
cause data loss. Here's a little script showing how events can reappear:

# Go to a specific day
dcop korganizer CalendarIface "goDate(QString)" "2007-05-15"
sleep 3
# Add an event on that day
dcop korganizer KOrganizerIface addIncidence  'BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//K Desktop Environment//NONSGML KOrganizer 3.5.6+//EN

sleep 3
# Delete the event (use UID from above)
dcop korganizer KOrganizerIface deleteIncidence  'KOrganizer-1588864444.882' 
true
sleep 3
# My .ics file happens to be called /tmp/Economic\ Indicators\ Calendar
# because of previous bug-hunting, you should adjust this to point
# to your own .ics file.
touch /tmp/Economic*
# Now wait for the deleted event to reappear.
