kde panel clock displays wrong timezones

[Arnt Gulbrandsen]

Binary package hint: kicker

kubuntu 8.04, upgraded from 7.10, from 7.04. The desktop configuration probably is from 7.04.

I usually have 2-3 clock applets set to different time zones. The time zones 'Berlin' and 'Calcutta' show the same time (see appended image) since I upgraded to 8.04.

$ apt-cache policy kicker

This isn't an issue in Kubuntu Intrepid (8.10) since Kicker is no more. (replaced by Plasma)
Thanks for the bug report all the same.

I should note that Plasma's analog clock does support timezones, but it doesn't label which timezone it's using yet.

Worse: it doesn't support Indian, Sri Lankan and Nepali timezones at all.

And I'm not sure what happened to the keyboard interface. The code seems
to use QListView (renamed I'm sure), but typing the name of a time zone
no longer works. Sorting by the name column also doesn't work.

I switched back to 3.5.9.
