as i mentioned in the bug i filed, a safe kludge is to always use 12
noon GMT:

evolution calendar:///?startdate=20060608T120000

since (virtually) no time zone is more than 12 hours away from GMT, this
will force evolution to start on the specified date, regardless of time
zone. the only people this will not work for are those few in Tonga
during their DST and some parts of Kiribati. since the people of Tonga
and Kiribati are primitive and their time is mostly preocupied with
catching enough fish to eat, they probably won't mind if Ubuntu doesn't
open the correct date in Evolution some of the time.
