The Synthesis engine needs to know the local time zone of its environment when
working with events that don't have a specific time zone declared. When using
iCalendar 2.0, this should happen that often.

The local time zone check in libsynthesis is rather crude: it's only based on
the time offsets against GMT.

Better use
http://chrislord.net/docs/libjana-ecal/libjana-ecal-jana-ecal-utils.html
jana_ecal_utils_guess_location() to find the exact location and then use the
corresponding libical timezone.

This needs to be configurable, so we need to improve the Synthesis configure
script first (https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3471).

... should *not* happen that often...

Congwu, you ran into this when testing with a phone, right? So it seems that is
a bit more important than originally anticipated, raising priority and pulling
it into 1.0.

Congwu, do you have time for this or should I ask someone else, like Raji?

Yes, but detecting local timezone does not have direct effect on phone
syncing..
1) If the phone does not support UTC time, the engine needs to use
'UserTimezone' (That is the timezone for the phone) when syncing not
'SystemTimeZone'.
2) If the phone supports UTC time, the engine can send UTC time.

In my case, the N7210c did not declare support 'UTC' in devinf and
'UserTimeZone' defaults to 'SystemTimeZone', this then triggered the problem. 
After Lukas pointed out some phones just forget to declare 'UTC', I tries and
it solved my problem now.

Considering this is a bug need to be fixed but not very high priority. I will
come up with this later when ready.
