I understand your frustrations, Flossy Cat. I truly do. KDEPIM has been a big
trigger of frustrations for me as well. I am still also facing this bug, cause
Devuan Ceres which is based on Debian Unstable also does not yet have a fixed
version. Unless in Debian Experimental for Plasma 6 and KDE Gear 6 and KF 6.
Soon enough I bet I have it. But I also get that you do not like to run a
rolling distro. It is rough these days with the very fast development speed of
the Linux kernel and other components.

But I do also appreciate that the KDEPIM development team is very small. And
they care about their software. That can be seen again and again like for
example in the blog posts about the recent meetup they had.

Also I see that the change implemented by David has more than 160 new lines and
changes more than 30 other lines. That IMHO is quite a bit for a backport. But…
another approach would be, to talk with openSUSE people whether a backport can
be done and maybe try to bring forth a back port in cooperation between
upstream and distro developers? From what I read openSUSE volunteer based team
is also quite small and I am not sure whether KDEPIM is a focus for the
enterprise variants of SUSE, however that could be an approach where you could
use your energy in a constructive manner to resolve the issue at hand for you
and others. Especially also if that fix is required by enterprises that use
KDEPIM… have you consider to ask for or organize some paid development work on
making a back port? Remember a lot of work on KDEPIM is volunteer work. That
means it is often enough work done by people who also have to do something else
to earn money. If its really the case the KDEPIM is used by a lot of enterprise
customers who are affected by this bug, I think it could be possible to raise
some money for a paid backport of some sort?
