There is something strange. Having installed the org version from git
and having set org-icalendar-alarm-time to 10, GoogleCalendar displays
appointments two hours too late. 

Strangely, the ics files produced with both versions are exactly the
same (including the headers) with exception of the VALARM lines. Here is
an example:

,---- mygtd.ics by org-mode 7.01trans (Git Version)

The above appointment shows up wrongly as 13:00-15:00 in GoogleCalendar. 

,---- mygtd.ics by org-mode 7.01g (Current Version)

This one displays correctly as 11:00-13:00 in GoogleCalendar.

A timezone issue? But how, if both files are identical in the essential
parts? 

Greetings,
