           Summary: Multiple timezone information systems in korganizer can
                    lead to problems
           Product: korganizer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: martin.ostertag gmx de


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.4.6 
OS:                Solaris

Currently Korganizer uses 2 different timezone information systems for processing the timezone information:
- libical uses its own timezone system for processing ical files/events
- the preferences dialog uses the KTimezones class from kdecore to display the available timezones, which uses the timezone information system from the operating system

This can lead to problems on some systems (e.g. Solaris), if the systems timezone information system contains timezones which are not available in the libical timezones or if there is a mismatch in the spelling.
Korganizer should only use one timezone information system for the preferences dialog and for the conversion of the events.
