I must be missing the point somewhere. If I enter an untimed appointment in 
korganizer on a certain day, that should always only remain on that date and 
not start extending to the following. Let me explain again.
1. start korganizer
2. create a birthday on the 28.2.2003 recurring by year
3. save and exit korganizer
4. start korganizer
5. voila: now my test birthday is on Feb 28 and March 1
that probably not how it is supposed to work.

greetings
