[carlos at sorrow ~] locate Perth
/home/carlos/Desktop/Perth
/usr/share/evolution-data-server-1.6/zoneinfo/Australia/Perth.ics
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Perth
/usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Australia/Perth
/usr/share/zoneinfo/right/Australia/Perth

I've fixed the zoneinfo on all my machines, and was tracking Outlook
Calendar issues, and noticed Evolution seems to have gotten the offset
wrong.
eg.
Book in (patched XP) Outlook for 21 Dec 10am - Send to linux user.
Evolution interprets as 8am (not 9am as expected due to above)

I'm just about beyond caring at the moment.

(mutters about rescheduling Sunday cron jobs so they run)
