Importing icalendar events
What's the best way (or best application) for setting up Firefox to import several iCalendar files, each containing a single event into a single calendar?
I've got a few hand-crafted iCalendar (.ics) files, modeled after what KDE's korganizer exports. On a few web pages, I've created links to these, and altered Apache's httpd.conf to recognize .ics files as MIME type text/calendar.
When I go to a Windoze machine and click, it calls up Microsoft LookOut! and imports them into the default calendar. Mac OS X also imported to a single calendar. Exactly what I want. (I'd have to go back and double check, but I think they both behaved that way.)
However, under Linux (RH9 + KDE for RedHat, and Fedora Core 4 + KDE for RedHat), I have yet to find an application that does the right thing. Korganizer imports each event as a separate calendar. Evolution threatens to understand the .ics files but then just opens a calendar and never imports the events. "konsolekaledar --import" crashes with a segmentation fault.
(I don't want a web-based calendar solution. I want something that stores the the events in a calendar on the user's machine so that it doesn't always have to be on the network and running a web browser in order to get event alarms.)
Not as important, but I have a slight bias towards RPM's. So, if I need to install yet another app, I am hoping to find an RPM'ed flavor. Also, I think I'd like to stay with the icalendar format, since at the moment .ics files appear to be the best cross-platform recognized/supported format.
