[support] Calendar, event, and timezone problems

[Andrew Cohill]

I've just spent about two hours reading message after message in the  
Drupal forums about timezone offset problems, and still can't figure  
out what the problem is.

I have two sites running on the same server, with site time and event  
time settings set the same way, and one site handles the time  
correctly, and the other site does not.

At this point, it appears to be luck as much as anything if Drupal  
displays the correct time.
