Don't know if this is a new bug, or a variation on this one.  I've noticed this
on both my Kubuntu systems. One is still using KDE 4.1.3, while the other is
using 4.2b2. I have a Kolab server where all my events are saved in a shared
folder.

When Kontact (Korganizer) starts up, events show in their text boxes with the
correct time/date/timezone information, and for the most part are in the
correct position on the grid. However, for late evening events, they will
straddle two days.

For instance, I am in the New York timezone (USA Eastern) and I have an event
for 6pm to 9pm (18:00 to 21:00) on Wednesday nights. When I start Kontact, that
event shows up on the grid at 6pm Wednesday AND 6pm Thursday. The box on the
left side says:

Time: 01/07/09 06:00 pm - 01/07/09 09:00 pm
Next Occurrence: 1/14/09 11:00 pm

Notice the next occurrence time is for the wrong timezone.

Here's how I fix it for the current session only: I open the "Configure
Calendar" settings, select "Time and Date". The time zone is listed as
"America/New York". I change that to something else (like America/Nassau),
click Apply, and "Keep Times" in the popup dialog box. Then I change the time
zone setting back to "America/New York", but this time I click "Move Times",
then all the duplicate boxes in the grid disappear. Also, the text on the left
hand side changes slightly to this:

Time: 06:00:00 pm - 9:00:00 pm
Date: 01/07/09
Next Occurrence: 01/14/09 06:00 pm
Creation Date: 12/17/08 04:58pm

You can see that this includes much more information about the event. The date
has moved to a separate line and the next occurrence time has corrected itself.
There is even a line now for the creation date that wasn't there before.

When I restart Kontact, the original behavior returns and I must jump through
the hoops again as outlined above.
