Hello Andy!

Why do you check for utc_offset != 0 in the following code (from
eas-cal-info-translator.c):

                        //
                        // StartTime
                        //
                        else if (g_strcmp0 (name, EAS_ELEMENT_STARTTIME) == 0) {
                                int utc_offset = 0, isDaylight;
                                icaltimezone * icaltz; 
                                
                                value = (gchar*) xmlNodeGetContent (n);
                                dateTime = icaltime_from_string (value);
                                if (isAllDayEvent) {
                                        // Ensure time is set to 00:00:00 for 
all-day events
                                        dateTime.is_date = 1;
                                }

                                if(vtimezone){
                                        g_debug("got a timezone");
                                        icaltz = icaltimezone_new();
                                        icaltimezone_set_component(icaltz, 
vtimezone);
                                        utc_offset = 
icaltimezone_get_utc_offset (icaltz, &dateTime, &isDaylight);
                                        if(utc_offset){
                                                icaltime_adjust (&dateTime, 0, 
0, 0, utc_offset);
                                                dateTime.is_utc = 0;
                                        }
                                        
                                }
                                prop = icalproperty_new_dtstart (dateTime);
                                
                                
                                if (tzid && strlen (tzid)&& (utc_offset != 0)) 
{ // Note: TZID not specified if it's a UTC time
                                        g_debug("got a tzid, %s", tzid);
                                        param = icalparameter_new_tzid (tzid);
                                        icalproperty_add_parameter (prop, 
param);
                                }

Does't that have the effect that time zone information where the offset
is zero for parts of of the year will be dropped if the event start time
falls into that part of the year?

That would be incorrect for Europe/London, for example.
