           Summary: KOrganizers recurrance doesn't work quite right
           Product: korganizer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: lecit lecit com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
Compiler:          gcc-4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

I'm seeing this with kdepim-3.5.8 and there's an outside chance this is
just evolution not understanding kdepims format, but alas here's the issue.

Schedule a recurring meeting for a day/time and invite someone for which the
meeting will actually fall on a different day (i.e. a 6:00 Brisbane meeting will
be 16:00 the previous day in RDU)  Send out the meeting request and it will look
like this:

RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=TU
DTSTART:20070430T200000Z
DTEND:20070430T210000Z

Accepting this meeting in evolution will result in an entry being made for 16:00
on 4/30 (a Monday, which is totally correct) but you'll also get an entry for
5/1 (Tuesday) at 16:00 and every Tuesday from then on will get a 16:00 meeting.
 I suspect the cause of the problem is the fact that the invite has the start
and end times in zulu, but the BYDAY designator is in local time for the meeting
scheduler (which in this case was Brisbane.)  Contrast this with evolution's
handling of the same meeting . . . evolution lists the start, end and repeat day
in local time of the scheduler.
