Bug Description
During installation I did set the timezone to Europe/Berlin. After leaving Ubuntu, the system clock is set back by 2 hours (which is exactly UTC). After that, Ubuntu doesn't change the clock any more.
Via Gnome time-admin, I did switch off periodic synchronisation with time servers. This didn't solve the problem. After setting the bios clock to local time, Ubuntu did change it back to UTC again.
This behaviour is a major annoyance in dual configurations since Windows XP will show the wrong time.
Searching Ubuntu forums with the keyword "timezone" produces some hits about this issue such as:

The solution described in those forum entries fixes the problem. However, it should be an installation option in standard installations to select whether bios time is UTC or local time.
