Could we add 

const QList<Event> &CalendarLocal::getAllEvents() 
{ return *mCal 

... oh, rats. The internal data structure isn't a list at all. I'm just 
wondering about how we can make things like searching in a calendar fast for 
applications in general. What KPilot does now is:

1) get the list of all events
2) search it to find an Event * with a particular Pilot id
3) throw it away

perhaps a find() function could be implemented in Calendar?

OK, I'll take your word for it :)

Excellent. Can we add that as a comment to calendar.h?
