Binary package hint: evolution
I'm using the built-in Google Calendar support and the times for events are incorrectly being offset for my timezone (Australia/Brisbane GMT+10:00) even though my timezone is the same on Google Calendar and my system (Evolution is configured to use the system timezone, and the greyed out box for a custom timezone lists Australia/Brisbane). If I hover my mouse over the event in Evolution both the incorrect and correct time are listed, with the correct time being labelled as the 'Etc/GMT' timezone. I seem to be able to temporarily work around this issue by disabling using the system timezone, change my timezone to UTC and then re-enable using the system timezone, but restarting evolution messes up the event times again (probably just a separate bug where enabling the use of the system timezone doesn't refresh the times).

This specific problem is not limited to the native Google Calendar support within Evolution.
After I experienced the problem described in this bug report using the native Google Calendar support, I then used CalDAV to configure a calendar to interface with my Google Calendar, but experienced the exact same problem as with the native Google Calendar.
I am also using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" amd64.
I am not in Australia though, I am in South Africa.
