Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Reproducibility: Always Steps to reproduce: 1. Settings->Configure Kontact…. A Configure dialog appears. 2. OK 3. Settings->Configure Kontact… Observed behaviour: 4. Nothing happens. Expected behaviour: 4. The Configure dialog should appear again. Here is the console output: $ kontact(541): ""StartTime" - conversion of "2935093,2,28,14,0,0" to QDateTime failed" kontact(541): ""DefaultDuration" - conversion of "2935093,2,28,1,0,0" to QDateTime failed" kontact(541): ""WorkingHoursStart" - conversion of "2935093,2,28,10,30,0" to QDateTime failed" kontact(541): ""WorkingHoursEnd" - conversion of "2935093,2,28,18,30,0" to QDateTime failed" kontact(541): ""StartTime" - conversion of "2935093,2,28,14,0,0" to QDateTime failed" kontact(541): ""DefaultDuration" - conversion of "2935093,2,28,1,0,0" to QDateTime failed" kontact(541): ""WorkingHoursStart" - conversion of "2935093,2,28,10,30,0" to QDateTime failed" kontact(541): ""WorkingHoursEnd" - conversion of "2935093,2,28,18,30,0" to QDateTime failed" $
This bug also applies to Settings->Configure KMail… and Settings->Configure Calendar…, but not to Settings->Configure KNode… and Settings->Configure Address Book….
Bug still occurs in KDE 4.2.3.
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.
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.
Possibly related to Bug 226527.
Can no longer reproduce with KDE 4.5.0 and nxclient 3.4.0.
