Are you using the 3 column KMail layout? I fixed a bug with exactly that 
symptoms only affecting this layout some time ago, I have to check if the fix 
made it into 4.6.0.

I noticed this as well. The selection for display in KOrganizer has no effect 
on this anymore, but that's intentional since you now can have different 
display sets in different applications (the Plasma panel clock is one 
example). However, I guess that we lost/ignore one of the alarm related Kolab 
folder settings now. Local blocking still seems to work, but IIRC there was 
another one, coming from the server. I haven't really investigated that yet 
though.

That's definitely where I would like to go as well. A first and necessary step 
into that direction was the feature Sergio explained already (done as part of 
one of the E5 projects btw). But eventually I'd like to have the ability to 
create my own tabs and have an arbitrary combination of side-by-side and 
merged calendars in there, easily manageable using e.g. drag&drop :)
