Comment 27 for bug 42115

This is probably a workable hack for the moment (that is, it's better than leaving it the way it is).

But I still am at a loss as to why a calendar program that helps me organize my appointments in my local time and correctly reminds me of them insists on receiving GMT arguments and has no way to specify a date in my local time zone (or just a plain date without a time zone--after all, it's opening the whole day, not a time). I don't think such hacks should be necessary.

Not having a way to specify a date according to the user's time zone is a bug. Evolution is designed to help people organize their daily tasks wherever they may live. Maybe this is an upstream issue that we have to hack around here, but I at least want to recognize that it's a bug. By the way, the Tongans I've known are not primitive and are as interested in using computers and organizing their schedules as I am, so I don't buy the idea that they should be excluded because of their time zone.
