        Hi,
it looks like a timezone issue. Maybe the calendar creates the events
with a floating time, thus without a particular timezone. You can check
that when you right-click an event in the Evolution's Calendar view and
choose "Save as iCalendar...", then open the saved file in a text
editor and search for lines which start with DTSTART or DTEND (if there
are more of these, then the interesting are those between BEGIN:VEVENT
and END:VEVENT lines). Feel free to paste them here. If they have a
TZID parameter, or they end with a 'Z' (which denotes a UTC time), then
I'd ask gnome-shell and/or gnome-calendar developers to look on the
event itself, supposing you'll be able to give them a test event. You
might also check your system timezone, whether it's properly stored and
detected by the gnome-shell and gnome-calendar. You can check which
timezone the Evolution found as being set in the system in
Edit->Preferences->Calendar and Tasks part->General tab->Time section,
the "Use system time zone" checkbox is followed by the timezone name as
detected by the Evolution.
