Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I've noticed at least one inaccuracy in the Location -> timezone mapping in the new clock applet in Hardy. In my case, when one searches for Eugene, OR, it sets the timezone to Mountain time, when it should be Pacific time. I don't yet know where it gets this data. If I figure it out, I'll correct it (and any other errors I find) and submit a patch...
The clock applet reports version 2.21.92

I think the timezones are pulled from tzdata: /launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ tzdata

However, Launchpad refuses to let me add tzdata as a project. In any case, I guess you can download the .tar.gz and take a look around.
