Well, not yet full support. In KDE 3.5 it will have really full support 
(exrules, rdates, arbitrary BY* combinations in the RRULE, etc.).

However, what kontact doesn't support is to change just one single occurence 
of a recurring sequence. RFC 2445 says that this is done by having an event 
with the same UID, but a different RECURRENCE-ID, which specifies the 
date/time of that one occurence. You can then change any field of the event, 
but it will still belong to the original event.

Cheers,
Reinhold
