pardon my ignorance, but in case of a resource created under "shared",  
who'd be the owner? How might I find out (IOW, how does Horde  
determine the owner)?

If it's the user that created the share ("IMAP directory"), that'd be  
the special Kolab user that is defined as the Kolab admin... and is  
defined to Horde as an admin as well. Since it's the Horde admin, that  
user cannot access the kronolith dialogs to edit the folder  
properties: When I log in to Horde as an admin, all other applications  
but Horde itself are unavailable.

If it's detected by checking that the resource is in the (current  
user's) personal name space, then nobody ever would be the owner: The  
resource is only available under "shared".

If the above is true, then I'd have no current way to edit the  
properties, but manually. Could you point me to a place (in the code  
or docs) where I might find out the structure of the "share-params"  
attribute? As you probably have already determined from my quoted  
value above, my manual approach currently only tries to set the  
display color, which did not show any effect after re-login to  
Horde/kronolith.

With regards,
Jens
