I also cannot remove UTC timezone from the calendar, the option to delete it is
greyed out.

I also can add other time zones, and can remove the ones I added, but cannot
remove the UTC time zone.

All appointments are shifted (7 or 8? not looking at the moment) hours when I
pull in an iCal that is successfully shared with kOrganizer (kde4 version) in
openSUSE Leap 42.2 and with kOrganizer (kde4 version again)in openSUSE 13.1.

The installed desktop on the working version (kOrganizer from kde4) in openSUSE
Leap 42.2 is Xfce, the kde desktop has not been installed, only the kde
dependencies requested by a few kde programs when they were installed.

The non-working version is the Plasma 5 version:  kOrganizer Version 5.5.2

It is in openSUSE Leap 42.3, again with the Xfce desktop installed and without
the kde desktop installed.

I think the problem is that kOrganizer does not pull in all the dependencies it
requires, instead depends on some elements or dependencies that are only
supplied if you install the kde desktop.

This appears to be an on-again, off-again problem going back years in
kOrganizer.

I would suggest to the Dev, if I could talk to that person, that kOrganizer
should have its own internal place to set the desired default time zone to
anything the User desires, instead of having it pick up things from the System
or the Desktop, which are broken from time to time.

I hope it is fixed soon.

In the meantime, I am using Lightning in Thunderbird, and it is doing a fine
job of sharing the ics file with kOrganizer kde4 version on the other machines.

I actually quite like the Lightning version.
