I checked this $conf[calendar][params][utc] parameter and found it  
already set to true. Yet any calendar item with the timezone set to  
Europe/Amsterdam (which is the exact same timezone as set in the user  
prefs) will appear 2 hours too early in the calendar. Items with  
timezone set to "default" appear with the correct time. I tested again  
and it happens in all calendars, both shared and own. Looks like the  
timezone correction of -2h is applied by kronolith regardless of the  
timezone setting in the users prefs.

My kronolith conf.php:

$conf['calendar']['params']['table'] = 'kronolith_events';
$conf['calendar']['params']['driverconfig'] = 'horde';
$conf['calendar']['params']['utc'] = true;
$conf['calendar']['driver'] = 'sql';
$conf['storage']['default_domain'] = 'bezoekerscentrumsonsbeek.nl';
$conf['storage']['params']['table'] = 'kronolith_storage';
$conf['storage']['params']['driverconfig'] = 'horde';
$conf['storage']['driver'] = 'sql';
$conf['calendars']['driver'] = 'default';
$conf['resource']['params']['table'] = 'kronolith_resources';
$conf['resource']['params']['driverconfig'] = 'horde';
$conf['resource']['params']['utc'] = true;
$conf['resource']['driver'] = 'sql';
$conf['autoshare']['shareperms'] = 'none';
$conf['share']['notify'] = true;
$conf['holidays']['enable'] = true;
$conf['menu']['import_export'] = false;
$conf['maps']['driver'] = false;
