I don't think that's a bug in KOrganizer. This use of start and end 
dates doesn't make any sense. The iCalendar spec says that a DTSTART 
without a time and without a DTEND is used to specifiy events which 
doesn't consume any time, like anniversaries. So adding a DTEND does 
make it consume time and I fail to see why the DTEND shouldn't consume 
a day like the DTSTART does.

Guenter, has this been discussed on the ietf-calendar mailing list, do 
you know?
