I think that you are right. Because of the way that libkcal works just now, 
some care will be needed to fix it - at the moment, the Recurrence class 
start date/time is assumed to be the same as the Event start date/time, and 
it will be important to ensure that all places where this assumption is made 
are found and changed.
