Comment(by siarzhuk):

 Just to "bury" this ticket. We propose to change the following lable in
 the Time Preflet from "Clock set to: GMT/Local" to the one of:

 a) "Hardware clock set to: GMT/Local"

 b) "BIOS clock set to: GMT/Local"

 c) "PC clock set to: GMT/Local"

 d) More clear variant?

 AFAIK, this option is a Haiku-only feature and should be more self-
 explaining for newbees. I personally know at least 3 peoples that have had
 incomprehension with this customization concept. And I suspect we will
 have the question "Which clock is set to GMT?" arising again and again. So
 I propose this self-explaining label for this. Are there any objections?
