Date menu picks wrong date in Tasque + Remember the Milk

[Kristi Wright]

Binary package hint: tasque

When I choose a task due date, Tasque sometimes remembers the wrong date. The No Date and Choose Date options work fine, but for the other options, Tasque acts as if I picked the day before the one I actually selected.

When I choose 5/11 Today, it remembers 5-10 Tue
When I choose 5/12 Tomorrow, it remembers 5-11 Wed
When I choose 5/13 Fri, it remembers 5/12 Thu
When I choose 5/14 Sat, it remembers 5/13 Fri
When I choose 5/15 Sun, it remembers 5/14 Sat
When I choose 5/16 Mon, it remembers 5/15 Sun
When I choose 5/17 Tue, it remembers 5/16 Mon
When I choose 5/18 In 1 Week, it remembers 5/17 Tue
When I choose No Date it works as expected
When I choose Choose Date it works as expected

I'm running Tasque 0.1.9-1 on Natty inside VirtualBox. Tasque syncs with my Remember the Milk account.

I also see this behavior.

My guess would be timezone handling, and this occurs for people in '+' timezones (I'm at UTC+7).

This bug affects me at UTC-7, so it's not limited to '+' timezones.

Remember The Milk assumes the timezone of the due date is user's Remember The Milk timezone.

"due is parsed in the context of the user's Remember The Milk timezone."

Tasque, however, passes the date as UTC at Rtm.TasksSetDueDateParse()
# See RtmNet/Rtm.cs and src/Backends/Rtm/RtmTask.cs

A patch for the problem.
I tested with Asia/Tokyo time zone.
