I just updated to r37641. Local time and GMT are still wrong. Actually,
the problem is still the same as in ticket #3903.
When I open a terminal window, and type the '''date''' command, I will see
the correct (local) time and timezone:
{{{
Thu Jul 22 23:51:56 EEST 2010
}}}
In winter time this is Europe/Helsinki time zone and it is two hours prior
to GMT. If time is 20:00 in Helsinki, it is 18:00 in Greenwich. In
summertime time difference is three hours. If time is 20:00 in Helsinki,
it is 17:00 in Greenwich.
When I opened the Locale Preflet first time after upgrade, the local time
is correct, but the time zone is Others->Greenwich. When I change time
zone to Europe/Helsinki, local time will change from 20:00 to 23:00. This
is three time out of the correct time (and time difference to GMT is now 6
hours).
Then I open the Time tab and change time to the local time (20:00). Local
time is now correct and time zone is now correct, but time in Deskbar will
change to 17:00 (which is actually GMT).
When I select the GMT radio button of Time tab, the Analog clock jumps
back to 23:00. Time difference of Deskbar time and Analog clock is now 6
hours. :)
This could be fixed so, that when the time is read from the computer (not
from time
server) and if time zone is not known (if date command information about
time zone shown in above is not used), then the default time is the local
time and the GMT time should be NULL. First when time zone is selected in
time preflet, GMT should be calculated, but the starting point should
always be the local time (and time difference of selected time zone and
Greenwich time).
