            Bug ID: 453805
           Summary: Text of event reminders does not use local timezone
           Product: Reminder Daemon
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kishore96 at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
If an event is in another timezone, the reminder text mentions the start time
as the time in that timezone, not the user's local timezone. Note that the
reminder is displayed at the correct time; this bug is only related to the text
that is shown in the notification.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Kalendar, create an event in a different timezone from the local one
2. Set a reminder to be shown for it
3. Wait for the reminder

OBSERVED RESULTS
The notification says 'Event starts at $TIME_IN_REMOTE_TIMEZONE' without
displaying the name of any timezone (and thus the user assumes it is in the
local timezone).

EXPECTED RESULTS
Notification should either say 'Event starts at
$TIME_IN_USER'S_CURRENT_TIMEZONE' or display the name of the remote timezone
along with the time. (I think the former would be better)
