Package: hamster-applet
Version: 2.91.3+git20120514.b9fec3e1-1
Severity: normal

in a time zone like central european, where summer time exists, creating
event that starts 2014-03-30 at 01:00 and ends at 09:00 makes the event
show up in the overview as 8h, while that span of time is actually 7h
long as wall time warps from 02:00 to 03:00 when entering dst.

(same would go in theory for people who regularly change timezones for
other reasons, eg travelling.)

how hard to fix this would be depends on implementation (i assume it is
not trivial -- were unix time stamps used internally, this wouldn't
happen in the first place), but i'd expect a program whose purpose it is
to count time not to err when doing so.
