--- Comment #11 from Don Curtis <bugrprt21882 at online.de> ---
Some comments to the issues around UTC and Linux and KDE:
1. When KOrganizer exports an event or a to-do in iCal format, the scheduled
time of the event or to-do within the iCal file is a UTC timestamp -- this was
also the case with the KDE4 Plasma KOrganizer version.
2. A Linux system uses the time zone information located either in
'/usr/share/zoneinfo/' or '/usr/lib/zoneinfo' -- if this location is not
populated with time zone information files then, KDE will also not display a
complete list of possible time zones.
3. A quick check to see if KDE can present all possible time zones, is to check
in the "System Settings" -->> "Personalization" --"Regional Settings" section
to see if all possible time zones are being presented -- if only UTC is
available then, KOrganizer will also only present UTC as the only possible time
zone.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, it seems that, KOrganizer Version 5.5.2 may have an issue with imported
iCal files in that, when editing an imported event (haven't yet tried an
imported to-do), the event editor seems to prefer UTC as the time zone to be
used.
On the other hand, the time-of-day displayed for the event is always correctly
displayed as the correct local time (dependent on the machine's time zone
location setting -- system/BIOS clock is UTC) for when the event shall occur.
