           Summary: There is no easy way to reload the groupdav source
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: wolters.liste at gmx.net


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

In Kontact (organizer, address book) groupdav sources are not reloaded.
However, since the Groupdav protocol does not define a way to push changes, the
client must have a mechanism to pull for changes.

One way for the user is to de- and reactivate the Groupdav source so that
changes are pulled. Another way is a time based pulling. Theoretically, there
is a time based pulling at least in the organizer, but that didn't work in
tests.

We settled for a hack to ask the refresh button to also reload the sources.
This way the user can also manually trigger a reload when he/she gets called
that there is a new appointment and that he/she should have a look at it.
