I just fixed the bug Anne reported where using the month view as the initial
view in KOrganizer caused things not to work.  You might want to
report this back to your distro so they can patch kdepim.

The relevant revisions are
trunk => r1059603
4.3 branch => r1059605

Note that this seems to be a change in a behavior for recent versions of Qt,
probably version 4.6.0

PS. has this bug been reported on bugs.kde.org? I can't find it there.
