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

[Alex Lowe]

** Description changed:

  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
+ A temporary workaround is to set your timezone inside KOrganizer (not
+ your system-wide timezone, just the one inside KOrganizer) to an hour
+ ahead.
  
  This could be because of the I upgraded to Feisty (just as we were going
  onto DST).
