Comment:

 You were right the first time around by using `get_date_from_gmt()`.  The
 `date_i18n()` function is used for formatting a date according to the
 current locale, not for converting a date to your blog's timezone.

 The incredibly convoluted code to output a GMT/UTC date in your blog's
 timezone and format it according to the current locale is:

 `echo date_i18n( 'Y-m-d G:i', get_date_from_gmt( date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s',
 $unixtime ), 'U' ) );`

 We definitely need a new function for this I think (in another ticket).
