i know it sounds like i'm arguing semantics, but in this case semantics
are important. the reason that i want to make the distinction clear is
because this bug is mirrored upstream, and the Evolution maintainers
need to know that there's actually no problem with their code. in fact,
they should NOT change how the command works between major releases (if
at all) because doing so would break the existing valid contract.

to further explain, evolution IS opening the the date that was
specified. the problem is that gnome-panel is telling evolution to open
the wrong date. to better understand this, you need to realize that
evolution is not opening a DAY, but rather a POINT IN TIME. the point in
time  8 June 00:00 GMT is actually 7 June 20:00 for those in EDT.
