[Evolution] Bug#502689: evolution-data-server: wrong time zone handling

[Øystein Gisnås]

You're probably right that something is wrong. I can't put the finger
on what, though.

I can see the same problem as you with the red timeline (only tried it
now after daylight saving is over) being right, but Ctrl+N suggesting
appointments one hour behind. I thought it maybe was using UTC time
for that, but adjusting the time zone back to London just move the
suggestion one hour back. It's as if it's deliberately suggesting
times one hour before.

For the DST, we should probably look more closely into that. I can't
answer your questions about how Evolution handles time zones in
detail. Maybe you could ask at the Evolution mailing list or file a
bug at bugzilla.gnome.org?

Cheers,
Øystein
