[Shotwell] shotwell wrong event dates + ubuntu 10.04

[Xavi Viader]

Hi Andrew,
agree with you. Lastly I've been thinking to switch to debian to get
something more "stable", a least with less upgrading system.

I know in the near feature I may get shotwell running on my system working a
bit.

Thanks for your comments.

Cheers,

xavi
