Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

1. Start up from an Ubuntu CD.
2. Start the installer, and advance to the "Where are you?" step.
3. Choose a time zone that has a different time from the one currently shown in the panel.
4. Choose "Forward".

What happens: The time in the panel stays as it is.
What should happen: The time in the panel updates to reflect the time zone you have selected in the installer.

There's no likely reason that you would want one time zone in your installation of Ubuntu but another in the live CD session. And updating the time in the panel makes it a bit more likely, during the rest of the installation, that you will realize any mistake you made when choosing a time zone.
