Junior job - Agenda and month views in KOrganizer

[Denis Kurz]

Hi Carl, hi Nathan,

I noticed Carl's test cases do not contain events that cross a week boundary. 
Currently, there is no left border on Mondays and no right border on Sundays 
for such events. Please keep in mind that we should still be able to 
distinguish those from events that start on Monday or end on Sunday in month 
view after your changes. This might not be as easy with borders whose radius 
is very small and whose color is barely distinguishable from the fill color of 
the event.

Regards, Denis
