[Gpe-list] GPE Calendar and changing "home city" time zone?

Hi all.  When my N810 time didn't change for Daylight Saving Time on
Sunday morning, I investigated and found out that my system is set to
London time rather than California.  D'oh!  So I opened the Clock
application and changed the "home city" to Los Angeles.  That seemed
like an easy fix until I opened GPE-Calendar and suddenly my 1800
events had all moved back 7 hours.  Suddenly all of my 11AM meetings
this week were showing up at 11AM.

I switched back to London time and everything is working again, but
I'd rather have the proper timezone set.  Is there any way to either
set my time zone without affecting GPE-Calendar entries, or modify the
GPE-databases to fix the problem?  I installed sqlite 2 and
investigated the calendar DB schema, but I didn't see a way to change
what GPE seems to consider the reference time zone.  And with 1800
events, I can't just edit them all by hand.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Fyodor
