well, that's not exactly what I wanted to say :-), In the GST's
time-admin tool there is a map with a bunch of cities (such as the time
zone configuration in evolution), my idea was to make the GtkCalendar
configuration show the correct settings depending on the city you have
selected as your nearest (this solves your problem with the timezones).

anyways, I suppose that using the locale values (independently of the
time zone or city you have selected in the map) is the smartest and most
painless decision I could take.

	Thanks for your advice and help :-)
