Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Preferences -> Locations -> Add -> Find and choosing Portland, Oregon gives the wrong timezone suggestion. It suggests America/Vancouver instead of America/Los_Angeles; this is wrong because Portland is in the US and Vancouver is in Canada, so to the extent that any differences exist between the Los Angeles and Vancouver DST rules either historically or in the future, Portland should follow the rules that apply in the US.
