Description Andrew Ziem 2006-11-15 19:48:05 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

This report is more about the dialog than what triggered the error.  So, the dialog says

"Save Error - KOrganizer
Saving of 'andrew' failed.  Check that the resource is properly configured
Ignore problem and continue without saving or cancel save?
[Do Not Save] [Cancel]"

It's difficult to distinguish what the difference is between the two choices.  It seems that with either option there will be no retry.  

Suggested changes:
1. Give more details on the source of the error
2. Distinguish the choices
3. Add a retry option

Notes:
I only saw this error once.

System details:
- Fedora Core 5
- kdepim-3.5.5-0.2.fc5
- kdelibs-3.5.5-0.8.fc5
- calendar is iCalender stored on Apache through WebDAV
- Apache server is on LAN
