Alarms for scheduled events go off one hour before they should. Neither the
timezone setting (which claims to do nothing) nor the "Store event in UTC"
affect the problem. unix 'date' reports
  Mon Dec  6 11:26:23 CET 2004
which is correct (including the timezone CET).
I suspect the problem is due to using a wrong lowlevel OS-call to get the time.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a new event in about 60 minutes.
2. Schedule an alarm to go off 2 minutes before the event starts.
3. Close the dialog.

Actual Results:  
The alarm goes off right away.

Expected Results:  
Waited about 58 minutes until the alarm is due.

System setup is SUSE Linux, timezone is CET (UTC+1).

Reporter:
   Are you still experiencing this problem?  This bug is rather old and alarms
are working fine for me.

Comment 2

No response from reporter and unable to reproduce.  This is also rather old, and
likely obsolete.  Marking WFM.
