Comment 1 Tristan Miller 2009-04-27 15:31:53 UTC 
This bug also applies to Settings->Configure KMail… and Settings->Configure Calendar…, but not to Settings->Configure KNode… and Settings->Configure Address Book….
Comment 2 Tristan Miller 2009-05-15 16:31:13 UTC 
Bug still occurs in KDE 4.2.3.
Comment 3 Allen Winter 2009-05-15 18:48:48 UTC 
try this:

quit Kontact
edit your .kde/share/config/korganizerrc file and remove the settings for StartTime, DefaultDuration, WorkingHoursStart, and WorkingHoursStart

start Kontact

Allen, I tried that.  It had no effect.
Comment 5 Tristan Miller 2009-12-23 17:15:53 UTC 
Upon further testing, I'm able to reproduce the problem only when I run Kontact over an NX connection using NoMachine NX.  Possibly, then, the fault lies with NoMachine NX rather than Kontact.
Comment 6 Tristan Miller 2010-03-05 12:51:41 UTC 
Possibly related to Bug 226527.
Comment 7 Tristan Miller 2010-08-27 12:40:28 UTC 
Can no longer reproduce with KDE 4.5.0 and nxclient 3.4.0.
