Some of this report is a duplicate of bug #1290171, which is already in
progress.

However, the "Directs to date one day before" bug isn't covered in
1290171, and I'm able to reproduce that issue.

Short answer: looks like the fix is to convert localtime to GMT before
passing it to evolution.

Longer answer: indicator-datetime invokes evolution like this:

$ evolution "calendar:///?startdate=20140325"

...and if I test that manually from the command line, I get the same
issue of Evolution popping up a calendar to March 24.

However if I pass that in UTC to evolution, it works correctly. I'm in
GMT-5, so if I do this:

$ evolution "calendar:///?startdate=20140325T050000Z"

then it pops up correctly. If I shift it less than 5 hours, it still
shows up on March 24:

$ evolution "calendar:///?startdate=20140325T040000Z"


** Summary changed:

- clock applet won't display events for selected date/directs to wrong date on evolution calendar
+ double-clicking on a calendar day opens Evolution to the day *before* the double-clicked day

Title:
  double-clicking on a calendar day opens Evolution to the day *before*
  the double-clicked day

Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I have Evolution set as my default calendar. In the clock/calendar
  applet, it displays the 5 next upcoming events on my calendar and an
  option to add an event. These events are accurate and up to date from
  today's date. However, if I select another date on the calendar, it
  will not change to show events from that date. It always displays
  current upcoming events.

  Also, if I click on any upcoming event listed, or if I double-click on
  a date on the calendar, I am directed to the date one day before the
  date selected.

  Clicking Add Event opens the Evolution calendar and selects the
  current date and time. I can begin typing and it will create an event
  in the selected calendar. Works as expected.

  1) Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (beta)
  2) 
      a) indicator-datetime 13.10.0+14.04.20140311.1-0ubuntu1
      b) Evolution 3.10.4
  3) EXPECTED
      a) Select date on calendar -> expected to see upcoming events for that date
      b) Double-click date on calendar OR click event -> expected to be directed to that date or event
  4) HAPPENED
      a) No change/displays upcoming events relative to current date
      b) Directs to date one day before
