Fedora Core 11, KDE 4.3

Steps:
1. Open an .ics file from a client like Outlook that was sent from a different
time zone.
2. Choose Merge into an Existing Calendar, then Akonadi resource
3. The meeting shows up in the time zone from which it was sent, not my time
zone. So, for example, if the meeting originator is on the Pacific coast and
the meeting starts at 0800 Pacific Coast Time (US), it should start at 1100 on
the East Coast (my time). Interesting to note that the event displays for just
a moment (less than a second) at the correct time before shifting down 3 hours.
It's almost as if the original import worked, then something came along and
made the shift.
4. Open the meeting in Korganizer. Note that the time zone for the meeting is
North America / New York.

If choosing a non Akonadi resource:
1. Open .ics file as before
2. Choose a non-Akonadi resource for merging the calendar
3. The meeting notice shows up in the correct time, e.g., at 1100 on the East
Coast given a start time of 0800 Pacific.
4. Open the meeting notice. Note that the time zone is given as Floating.
5. Make any type of change (or even no change at all) and hit Apply or OK.
6. The meeting notice disappears.
7. Un-check, then re-check the resource where the meeting notice was stored
using the Calendar window in the left pane of Korganizer
8. The meeting re-appears, but now at the wrong time, 0800 instead of 1100.
9. Open meeting notice. Time zone remains Floating.


The meeting notices used above come from Outlook. I setup a
Thunderbird calendar on my computer to be in a different time zone (Pacific)
than my Korganizer calendar (Eastern). Meeting notices generated by Thunderbird
were properly accepted and stored by Korganizer with the appropriate time
shift.

So, it appears that the "time zone" problem may be limited to Outlook-type
meeting notices.
