We have colors for categories since kde 2.0.

Couldn't we fake the webcal URL by using a clever Internet Shortcut or a 
KURIFilter? I don't know much about these.

Maybe we could offer a KOrganizer plugin which gives access to the

If there is a iCalendar file which claims to adhere to the standard and 
KOrganizer doesn't show the information correct, please file a bug 
report.
