The reason is that in KDE 3 time zones weren't handled properly and all
times were stored as UTC, the necessary conversion to the user's time zone
being done in the user interface. In KDE 4, time zones are stored
correctly in the calendar, and are displayed just as they are stored.
Presumably there isn't any conversion done when a KDE 3 calendar is read
by the KDE 4 KOrganizer, so times now show as UTC.
