[Opensync-users] Timezone trouble

[Wolfgang K. <kle...@we...>]

I am still trying to make my Palm and my KDE Desktop / Mozilla Lightning
work together. I had some success in setting up opensync to sync kde-pim
and my Palm, but still I encounter some serious problems, one of which
is concerning timezone info: each time I sync, the timezone ID is
deleted from the local vcal file.

When I enter a new event, there is a timezone info included:

BEGIN:VEVENT
...
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20100402T173000Z
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20100402T210000Z
END:VEVENT


After synchronizing, the same event will look like this:

BEGIN:VEVENT
...
DTSTART:20100402T173000Z
DTEND:20100402T210000Z
END:VEVENT

The timezone info has been deleted and this event will be shifted one
hour. Strangely, this does not happen to every event in calendar: only
repeating events are affected when they cross the days when daylight
saving time starts or ends.

Has any one else noticed this? Is this a know problem? If so: is there a
patch available and will this be fixed in the next release?
