In KDE 3 it stores times as UTC, so daylight savings time information gets
lost. That doesn't necessarily mean times go wrong, but in interacting
with servers perhaps this causes some incompatibility somewhere. In KDE 4,
things *should* work correctly since daylight savings information is
stored correctly. But it could still depend on what the server does with
the data.
