 At 3 am, clocks are reset to 2 am. Well, at about 1:40 am, I entered a

 the event. But no alarm notifier occurred.
 I had forgotten that the time switch was about to occur.
 Then I added a new event, tried to set the time using the now button,
 but it gave the wrong time, one hour back to the actual time. I
 reconfigured tzdata, checked the timezone preferences in evolution,
 which was set to system time.
 Well, finally, when it was 3 am and my system clock would make the
 switch as expected, evolution would behave correctly again. Seems, as if
 evolution doesn't make the switch at the correct time!

A known bug in the system timezone to libical conversion code:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562028

Fixed by the Scalix developers recently, available in libical 0.44.
