[Bug 94480] KOrganizer fails to update for time zone change

[Alex Lowe]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: korganizer

I'm not sure if this is in KOrganizer itself or the timezone package
(although I've tried both America/Chicago and US/Central as
/etc/localtime and they both do the same thing).

In KOrganizer, I have among my calendars the Ubuntu Events Calendar. (http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event/ical/all/all)
It worked normally on Central Standard time (UTC-6h00), but with the update to Daylight Savings Time (we're now UTC-5h00), KOrganizer still thinks we're on UTC-6h00.
It works correctly after April 1, when the U.S. previously changed to Daylight Savings Time.

This bug is fixable by doing the following:

1. Close KOrganizer (if you use it inside Kontact, you'll need to quit Kontact)
2. Change your timezone
3. Open KOrganizer and change your timezone to [no selection] (Settings -> Configure Calendar ->Time & Date -> Timezone)
4. Quit KOrganizer
5. Change your timezone back to what it should be
6. Open KOrganizer and (if you want ) change your timezone inside it back, too

This could be because of the I upgraded to Feisty (just as we were going
onto DST).
