KMail and time zone issues
When I get a calendar notice under kmail, the time is displayed as standard time NOT daylight time. All my settings appear to be correct: here is a fragment of what was sent: DTSTART:20050607T180000Z DTEND:20050607T190000Z For EDT, this should display as 2:00PM to 3:00PM (EDT) What displays is: Start Time: 2005-06-07 1:00 pm End Time: 2005-06-07 2:00 pm Duration: 1 hour System SuSE 9.3 Timezone US/Eastern HW clock set to local time (I dual boot into Windows XP :-( ## Path: System/Environment/Clock ## Description: Information about your timezone and time ## Type: string ## ServiceRestart: boot.clock # # Set to "-u" if your system clock is set to UTC, and to "--localtime" # if your clock runs that way. # HWCLOCK="--localtime" ## Type: string(Europe/Berlin,Europe/London,Europe/Paris) ## ServiceRestart: boot.clock # # Timezone (e.g. CET) # (this will set /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime) # TIMEZONE="US/Eastern" DEFAULT_TIMEZONE="US/Mountain" Additionally, my KD panel clock displays the correct time as does the date command: gaf@sauron:~> date Tue Jun 7 08:49:58 EDT 2005 It just seems to be KDE when displaying calendars sent from others.

Could it be that the other are using korganizer? If so, they might not have set their timezone. This must be configured in korganizer seperately and it can be reached via the settings menu. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

I believe that he is using korganizer, and I know he has his time zones correct. In any case, the message he sent me had the times as UTC times: DTSTART:20050607T180000Z DTEND:20050607T190000Z

I reported a problem regarding Lotus Notes quite a while back see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100136 This may be related to your problem. There seems to be little action on the bug report I posted. -- Regards, Graham Smith
