The conflict messages for edit and deletion conflicts in calendar entries are
confusing to say the least.

I forced one edit conflict and got the following message:

""""""""
Der folgende Eintrag wurde sowohl auf dem Handgerät als auch auf dem PC
geändert:
PC-Eintrag:
    CalendarAkonadiRecord. Summary: [Schwimmen Elisabethhalle], Start: [Fr Feb
27 13:00:00 2009] (timespec: 0), End: [Fr Feb 27 14:00:00 2009] (timespec: 0)
Handgerät-Eintrag:
    9556511:Schwimmen Elisabethhalle:Fr Feb 27 15:00:00 2009

Welcher Eintrag soll beibehalten werden? Der andere Eintrag wird überschrieben.
""""""""

While the message contains the most important information, you need to get used
to the formatting... Additionally, the messages for Palm and PC side are
formatted completely differently. The Palm side message is much simpler to read
but lacks information about the calendar entries duration.
The PC /kOrganizer side contains most interesting information but its
formatting resembles more some debug message than an information intended for
an end user.

Something similar happens for deletion conflicts, here I changed an entry in
kOrganizer and deleted it from the Palm:

""""""""
Der folgende Eintrag wurde sowohl auf dem Handgerät als auch auf dem PC
geändert:
PC-Eintrag:
    CalendarAkonadiRecord. Summary: [Inspektion Motorrad], Start: [Fr Feb 27
11:00:00 2009] (timespec: 0), End: [Fr Feb 27 12:00:00 2009] (timespec: 0)
Handgerät-Eintrag:
    9556512::

Welcher Eintrag soll beibehalten werden? Der andere Eintrag wird überschrieben.
""""""""

Again, most important information is shown, but you really have to know in
advance that it simply means the entry has been deleted on the Palm...

Greetings,

  Gunter
