Hi Ben,

Could you figure out how Evolution determines what the current time zone
is?

Guix provides /etc/localtime, which is what libc functions use, but I=E2=80=
=99m
guessing Evolution uses a custom framework, possibly involving a
hard-to-believe network of D-Bus services.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
