I am dual booting with windows, although I haven't used windows since the change so it hasn't updated my clock.
Ok, I didn't realise that. Not sure if that is a good behaviour though, because there must be plenty of people (like me) who have windows installed but use Ubuntu as their primary OS?
Maybe a better solution would be to popup a dialog on login saying that a DST has been detected, and present the user with two time options to choose from. Wouldn't be hard with a bit of python, although I wouldn't know how to get it to run only on certain dates.
Or would it make more sense to integrate it with the gnome-clock applet?
