Bug Description

As you can see in the two screenshots, the timesetting of the sunrise/sunset shown in the gnome-weather-applet is linked to the local timesetting of the installed os (Ubuntu 10.04.1, 2.6.32-24-generic).
Sunrise/sunset in Buenos Aires (Argentina) should be at 07:09 am / 06:33 pm which is shown correctly in the gnome-clock-applet.
If one uses the gnome-weather-applet (Gnome-Panel) it shows the sunrise/-set at 12:09 pm / 11.33 pm.
The five hour time-difference is the time-difference between Argentina and Germany (→ timezone of installed Ubuntu).
To correct the display of weather-applet's sunrise/-set it should not use the time of the installed os but sum up/subtract the time-difference shown in gnome-clock-applet (-5 hours in this example).

Thank you for your bug report. The clock applet seems to work a little more than the weather applet to get the sunrise and the sunset times correctly. It looks like it shouldn't be too difficult for the developers to copy the relevant code from one to the other.

It looks like it might be a little harder than I thought. The bug has been submitted to the upstream GNOME developers. Thanks again!

Hi Philippe, thank you for your response and for transferring the GNOME bug report. I just did a quick check with Maverick and found out that the same bug occurs with Ubuntu 10.10 → libgweather (2.30.2-1ubuntu1). Greetings from Germany :)
