When viewing an email there is a blue box in the top
right corner of the window. On my system the
date is offset ahead by one hour.
The likely explanation is kmail has not been updated to the newer DST period. (Why would
kmail use an internal calendar
rather than a system calender?)
Only people affected by the DST nonsense are likely to see this bug.
Would somebody please confirm?
The code for the box display is in tdepim/kmail/headerstyle.cpp. I'm not a C++ guru
but from what I think I see, the code is pulling the date/time information from the
system. As the time in the clock applet in my kicker panel is correct, and the date
command in konsole is correct, I don't know how kmail is shifting the time by one
hour, the exact difference of the DST shift last weekend. I don't see anything obvious
in tqdatetime.h or ntqdatetime.h.
