           Summary: Events in a different timezone appear a day early
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 4.2.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jk at ozlabs.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Compiler:          gcc (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) 4.3.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If I accept an invite for an event that is scheduled in a different timezone,
then the event appears one day early in my korganizer week view.

This also occurs if I manually import an ics file that describes an event.

In the email 'summary' of the event (ie, the pane in kmail that shows the event
details before accepting the invite), the date is correct (and specified in the
local timezone). If I open the event summary from korganizer nce I've added it,
the details are correct (but specified in the remote timezone).

The following iCal fragment will reproduce the problem for me:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
METHOD:REQUEST
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20090706T220000Z
DTEND:20090706T230000Z
DTSTAMP:20090703T002547Z

DESCRIPTION:Test description
LOCATION:Test location
SEQUENCE:0
STATUS:CONFIRMED
SUMMARY:Test event
TRANSP:OPAQUE
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Korganizer is configured with the 'Australia/Sydney' timezone, and my OS is
configured with TZ=Australia/Canberra (both equivalent). At present, this is 10
hours ahead of UTC. The event above will display in the week view at 8am on the
6th of July, but should display at 8am on the 7th.

Unfortunately, I've called into a few meetings one day early, leading to much
embarrassment on my part :D
