[OGo-XML-RPC] zOGI and timeZone

[Tobias Kaefer]

Sorry, but I have one point, that I forgot (I wrote the last mail in a 
little bit of a hurry):

In zOGIAction.m (trunk in svn rev. 968) line 458, there is the timeZone 
set by:
[dateValue setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"GMT"]];

So this should be the place where the timeZone is set.

I recognized just this morning, that I commented this line out for 
debugging. Once again sorry.
