  Calendar displays appointments/meetings at incorrect times

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  evolution 2.22.3.1-0ubuntu1 on Hardy does not use the correct timezone
  when adding calendar events or displaying reminders.  My timezone is
  set to America/New_York (-0400, currently in daylight savings). This
  is confirmed with 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata'. Evolution preferences are
  setup to America/New_York.  Output of date:

  $ date
  Tue Aug  5 09:41:48 EDT 2008
  $ date -u
  Tue Aug  5 13:41:50 UTC 2008

  If I am in 'day view' of the evolution calendar, and I double click on
  the '12pm' time slot, the Appointment editor dialog displays the time
  as '4pm', but the Appointment editor dialog shows the timezone as
  'America/New_York'.  It doesn't seem to make a difference if I choose
  another timezone, the times are always wrong in the appointment
  editor. Interestingly, if I double click '12pm', the editor shows
  '4pm', then if I don't change the time at all and save the
  appointment, it shows up in the calendar as '8pm'.  Creating a new
  calendar and adding a single event as described (ie double click 12pm,
  is displays 4pm in edit, save, displays 8pm in evolution) results in:
