Seems to me due to the fact that All Day events are still saved as VALUE=DATE (which makes sense since they are supposed to be all day in any timezone) there is no associated time, so the exception apparently just takes a wrong one. So for all day events I will save exceptions as before, meaning I will have to add a conversion if an all-Day event is converted to one with a specified time and vice versa.

Initial tests with Android and Thunderbird reveal that they both recognize the EXDATE:VALUE=DATE in case of all day events. So no problems there.

This patch makes KOrganizer use DATE-TIME values, thus making it compatible to most other clients that only check for DATE-TIMEs. Existing VALUE=DATE exceptions are not touched, only newly created exceptions will be saved in this format.
