This is a known limitation of the current implementation, rather than
a bug. I was sure we already had a ticket for this in the tracker,
but obviously not.
Times and dates are stored timezone dependent in the backend. This is
legacy cruft from old Kronolith versions that didn't even have
timezone support at all. With Kronolith 3 this is going to change,
dates will be stored in UTC.
Jan,

Thanks, but this does not appear to work properly yet in 3.0-cvs. I 
have downloaded kronolith-HEAD-2008-01-04.tar.gz, installed it and 
found old behavior unchanged; the limitation is still there. Are there 
any release plans publicly available?

i'm using horde-base-3.1.5 and horde-kronolith-2.1.6 from ports 
collection on freebsd. it seems i've found a bug in shared calendar 
feature: users' timezones are not really respected. suppose a user 
with timezone America/New_York creates a new event that lasts from 7am 
till 8am. when another user, whose timezone is Europe/Prague, looks at 
the calendar, he sees 7am-8am, which is not correct. It should be 
1pm-2pm. timezone of the user who creates an event and timezone of the 
user who views an event must be respected.
