           Summary: Kontact displays events at wrong time when working w/
                    multiple time zones
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: calendar
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bchang at artic.edu


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If you schedule events in the Calendar in a time zone which is different from
the machine's local time zone, the Calendar will only display them relative to
the machine's local time and cannot display them in the correct time.

For example: I live in one time zone (Indiana, in the  US Eastern time zone),
and work in another (Chicago, in the US Central time zone, which is -1 hour).

At home, I schedule an event to take place at 10:00 AM, Central time, in
Chicago.  But, when I view my calendar, it always appears at 11:00 AM, because
the machine is currently physically in Indiana.

It may be that Kontact believes I'm going to teleconference and so I want to
know what time the event is relative to Eastern time.  This is incorrect if the
user is not going to teleconference but takes a train to the meeting instead.  

I have some images illustrating the problem in this thread:
