Hi,
When entering a date e.g. for an event KDE Kontact should use
<time-zone>(GMT+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rom, Stockholm,
Wien</time-zone>
NOT
<time-zone>(GMT+02:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rom, Stockholm,
Wien</time-zone>
even though we currently have DST in Germany.
Rational: The timezone is solely dependend on the geographic location but not
on the week. This is especially important for events spanning over DST
switching sundays.
E.g. a daily recurring event at 12 noon like "lunch" shall always happen at
the same time and not be affected by daylight saving time switches.
BTW: This is something which MS Outlook 2K3 does correct ;-)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
