Is there a way to display the dialog with the kcal plugin, so that I can see how this appears? I've looked at akonadi_serializer_kcal.h/cpp/desktop for some inspiration, but it doesn't obviously do any formatting to the plain text iCalendar entry. Is there another class which formats the data for display - CalendarSupport::IncidenceViewer, perhaps, which is used in AkonadiConsole?
