Hi All,

I have managed to get some log output on this, and though it's a Kontact 
related issue the code in question seems to be from the Kolab project 
(libkolabxml 1.0.1 specifically)

Here is what I get in ~/.xsession-serrors upon trying to insert an event in to 
my Kolab calendar:

QDBusObjectPath Akonadi::Server::NotificationManager::subscribeV2(const 
QString&, bool) Akonadi::Server::NotificationManager(0x8404c0) 
"kontact_8790_whFMNo" true 
QDBusObjectPath Akonadi::Server::NotificationManager::subscribeV3(const 
QString&, bool, bool) Akonadi::Server::NotificationManager(0x8404c0) 
"kontact_8790_whFMNo" true false 
QDBusObjectPath Akonadi::Server::NotificationManager::subscribeV2(const 
QString&, bool) Akonadi::Server::NotificationManager(0x8404c0)

It appears my time config may somehow be wrong. Any ideas are appreciated.
