Bug Description
Version: 2.6.1-0ubuntu7 / Dapper
Problem: When adding a task in the calendar I get a dialog "invalid time value" when clicking "save". I have indeed chosen a time in the drop-down box (for instance 09:30). After clicking OK in the "invalid time value" dialog it reappears together with another dialog with the message: "Validation error: the starttime is wrong" (translated from the error message that is in norwegian).
A google search:

In my case the time values always show up as hh:mm and changing the format to anything I can think of does not help (hh.mm, hh;mm, etc).
I have tried with a fresh $HOME/.evolution without sucess (it was a totally new user account with no custom configuration).

Currently, glibc displays dates in the pl_PL locale as:
pon sie 6 01:23:45 CEST 1984
This format violates several conventions for date abbreviations in the Polish
language. I include a patch against the current CVS localedata with the
following changes:
* non-standard weekday abbreviations are replaced with standard ones
* non-standard month abbreviations are replaced with standard ones (based on
Roman numerals)
* middle-endian format (never used in Poland) is replaced with the little-endian
one (by far the most popular)
* standard padding is introduced, i.e. h:m:s are zero-padded, day of the month
is not padded
* fields are properly separated
With the patch, dates are displayed as:
Pn, 6 VIII 1984, 01:23:45 CEST
which matches the most common usage.
Please notice that the abbreviations are no longer fixed-width. Since this is
also the case in several other locales, I suppose it is not a problem.
