I also wrote that Martin's patch has been applied in January. Obviously 
it did not fix you problem.

Probably, but it's equally likely that those few developers that are 
working on kdepim concentrate on KDE 4 in general and currently on 
Akonadi in particular. We do not have enough developers to fix all bugs 
in KDE 3.5.

The patch has been applied. And it did not seem to help with your 
problem. Sorry.
