Public bug reported:
evolution uses something called "system timezone" per default. This
appears to be the timezone defined by /etc/localtime.
This is odd, and entirely different from all other software, that uses
$TZ, and only looks at /etc/localtime as a fallback.
Explanation: I use UTC for /etc/localtime, because logs, statistics etc.
should be recorded in UTC (being a monotonic timescale).
"Local time" is only for users, so I set the TZ environment variable at
login time. This works fine with GNOME, all CLI programs, Firefox etc.
Evolution seems to be the only exception.
