[kronolith] Timezone issue when importing Google ical files

Hi,


I would like to import my Google calendars. On the Google side, I have 
exported them to ical files. After importing them in Horde, I noticed 
that the time was off one or two hours. Looking in the ical file itself, 
I saw that Kronloth shows the listed (UTC?) times, but that there was a 
X-WR-TIMEZONE field that, I guess, Google uses to get the actual, 
timezoned time.

How can I import the calendar differently, or pre-process the ical file 
to make sure Horde has takes the timezone data into account? (I know 
that the X-WR-TIMEZONE header is non-standard...)

The calendar in question, edited down to one entry:
