ok. Thats good to know.  My system is a pretty hybrid setup and so I
was leery of enabling full repositories on my day-to-day use machine.

Whats the ical source and I'll give it a try.

Not for Karmic as that will ship with 4.3.x.  Ultimately, yes it will
be easier but the akonadi facility is still very new in PIM.  I've
read that KDE 4.4 will be the first release where they work on
improving the integration of akonadi into the workflow of everything.
Right now its still sort of a bolt on feature.

If you wanted to track development you can install kde-nightly from
project-neon.  It will install as a separate session in the login
manager so you can have both stable kde and bleeding edge installed at
the same time and switch between the 2.
