My freebsd 6.2-STABLE laptop handled the DST transition correctly, but
the little red line that Evolution uses to mark the current time is
off by one hour.

Some digging tells me that evolution doesn't use the system time zone
data:

   http://www.mail-archive.com/evolution-list@gnome.org/msg05441.html

and that it uses the implementation in the libical library:

   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301363

I tried applying a patch from the above thread to the Los_Angeles.ics
file, which gave evolution the correct notion of the time, but caused
all (or most, or ???) of my calendar entries to be off by one hour.

Did I miss an announcement about clearing this up?

Is there some way to fix it w/out portsnaping my entire ports tree and
rebuilding?

Thanks,
