Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

In Fiesty H-2 the Evolution Setup Wizard asks you for your Timezone. Why can't it read this from the Ubuntu settings?

Upstream bug says:

"Integration with system time zone had been done in Evolution 2.12. Can we close
the bug ? TIA."

however in hardy the bug is still present. Is ubuntu using some patch that, on purpose or by mistake, disables the upstream fix?

no ubuntu is not using some patches and upstream is talking about something else, evolution uses the system timezone definition intead of having its own settings, it still display this wizard question though

Ubuntu has this in /etc/timezone
Evolution stores this data in gconf at /apps/evolution/calendar/display/timezone

They seem to use the exact same format, so it should be not that hard to make evolution use ubuntu's setting.
