Hi,

thank you very much for your help on this.
First of all: Evolution works fine, without shifting DTSTART.

On generating the debug logs I noticed that the described problem occurs
on using gnome-calendar. With Evolution directly everything is fine.

Although I wrote that I used Evolution, I used gnome-calendar yesterday
on Arch linux. Sorry for being imprecise.
I had the assumption, that gnome-calendar is only a thin front-end that
uses all of Evolution, but TIL that there is probably more.

So, thanks again for your help. I'll look into gnome-calendar to analyze
this further.

Kind regards,
Ralph
