Comment 12 for bug 14241

Matt:
You would unconditionally set the clock to a known incorrect (UTC) time rather
than use a possibly correct (hardware clock) time?!

Perhaps it's because many of the developers are using British Standard Time and
coincidentally receive the correct time that you're not aware of the
pervasiveness of this bug.

The core problem remains:
When I get my new shiny Ubuntu desktop, the current local time is 12:41, yet the
GNOME clock says 01:41.
