[kronolith] recurring events - wrong time

[Dewi Griffiths]

the problem occurs because horde is sending all it's timestamps in the 
ics feeds in Universal Coordinated Time or Zulu time(as shown by the Z 
at the end of the start times etc in the ics file).
I opened a bug with the mozilla project on this, but was told lightning 
was doing the right thing and our server feed needed to to send 
timestamps which denote timezones so that daylight saving calculations 
can be accommodated. There are several related thunderbird bugs:-
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520843
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456521

There is also a Horde bug track open on this type of issue which may be 
of use and could result in a fix if it's implemented:
http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7156

Hope this helps. It's a real pain that this happens and more so because 
its hard to pin down which end is actually responsible for the 
manifestation of the end result.

Dewi.
