[Evolution] time anomaly

[".b e." <be1952 hotmail com>]

i normally have a good concept of time, and dont own a watch so its always 
bugged me that linux application time is so inconsistent and fixing it so 
vague.

evolution seems to be no different.

irrespective of what timezone,  utc or local (utc+13), the bios is set to, 
evolution reports the time a message is posted as real local time  +1300 
hours, which means i'm posting in the future.
it displays this in the message as proper time "+1300" but in the folder 
view it actually adds the 13hours to the local time and displays the message 
as being sent in the future.

setting the time zone to none in calendar settings doesnt help, because that 
immediately resets itself to utc.

its difficult to justify linux to anyone when the computer has to be set up 
with a time that is wrong to get the applications to report it correctly.

then again this is all probably just another mandrake stuffup.
