Removing the time handling of the command line might solve the problem.

The date selected in the clock applet is converted to UTC which will make the date change if you are in a time zone east of London (since the time is 00h00).

The problem is present in at least Ubuntu 10.10 and Fedora Core 13.

It seems like evolution does not need the time at all as an command line argument. Maybe the best way to fix this is to skip the time part and only include the date?

Attaching a patch that, hopefully, does this.

Can someone verify that it solves the problem?
(I'm very new to this...)
