it's definitely a problem with kontact itself. if the .ics file has the times listed in UTC (times end with "z"; this seems to be the standard across several platforms, don't know if it's the ical standard or not), calendar will display UTC times in the month view, but correctly display local time in the week/day views. if a new event is entered through kontact, it is saved with a TZID= sub field in DTSTART/DTEND, and the local time. i worry a bit about changing the syntax of the DTSTART/DTEND fields, but my older version of kontact on a different desktop, as well as gpe on a nokia n800 seem to parse the TZID info correctly. lastly, kontact displays times correctly across all views if the TZID info is included in the ics file.
