Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Edit Locations on the Clock Applet.
In location name, start typing to get "Montreal, Quebec, Canada"

Timezone remains on "Unknown" and if you don't notice that, when you click OK/hit enter, the add is silently failed.

So two errors:
1. missing TZ
2. Silent fail

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

gnome-panel 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu7

ISTR this was also broken in Intrepid.
