Subject: evolution: Calendar entries show up at wrong time

Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:06:15 -0700

Package: evolution
Version: 2.22.3.1-1
Severity: important

[Filing as "important" because this makes the evolution calendar
completely broken.]

When I add an appointment to Evolution's calendar manually, or when I
accept a meeting notice, it ends up at the wrong time.  I tried adding
an appointment from 12-1PM, and it showed up from 7-8PM; however,
hovering over it or opening it shows that it still thinks the meeting
goes from 12-1PM.  Accepting a meeting for 3PM made it show up at 5AM
the following day.

I would tend to suspect timezone handling, because those meetings got
offset by 7 hours and 14 hours respectively, and I use the US/Pacific
timezone (AKA "America/Los_Angeles" for programs that refuse to show
the timezone names), which currently equals UTC-7.  Perhaps something
applies a timezone offset multiple times or in the wrong direction?

I tried downgrading all the evolution packages to version 2.22.2-1.1
from lenny, but that did not seem to help.
