But this is really annoying. Did you ever figure this out? I am ramping up usage of google calendar now, and have noticed this issue. I am doing org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files and then scp'ing the resulting .ics file to a webserver with a secret filename, and created a new google calendar via 'add by URL' which points to this secret URL. The file begins: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 X-WR-CALNAME:OrgMode PRODID:-//Adam Spiers//Emacs with Org-mode//EN X-WR-TIMEZONE:BST CALSCALE:GREGORIAN BEGIN:VEVENT and I have google calendar set to Europe/London, but it time-shifts all events in this calendar later by one hour. Other calendars streaming from scheduleworld.com work just fine. I have tried tweaking it to X-WR-TIMEZONE:Europe/London but I think I will have to wait for google to re-poll the URL before I know whether this works - there is no way to force it to reload.
