then why, when my server is system configured for Central US time (GMT-6 this
time
of year) does phpgw's functions return a tz_offest of -6?

Not if you disable that as I have. It uses php's gmdate function, which return
the
correct GMT date. Problem is it then sets my timezone in the tz_offset, the 2
are
NOT the same thing. So either the tz_offset setting functions are wrong, it or
the
apps are wrong to use the datetime->userlocaltime value as the actual local
time.
And if the apps are wrong, then exactly what is the point of the userlocaltime
value anyway?
It's almost as if we have a half implemented idea here because some parts of the
code are doing one thing for time and other parts are doing another. Heck, in
just
uicalendar some code uses $date != date() and others use $date != localtime.
date
() works as expected, localtime doesn't.
