Comment 2 for bug 14241

Before entering the graphical user interface, there was some mention of
synchronising the time with ntp.ubuntulinux.org or similar.

Once in the GUI, the time was displayed in UTC, which was incorrect, so I
changed the time zone using the KDE preferences. I think I needed to change it
in two places, beginning in the context menu on the clock applet in the panel.

I don't recall any shutdown rc message stating that my system clock was being
set, but upon rebooting to Windows XP, my system clock was 11 hours behind my
local time zone, indicating that it had been reset to UTC.

It is pointless for the clock to be synchronised if it doesn't properly allow
for local time zones.

I saw this most recently on the Kubuntu Hoary Preview Live CD, but I also
experienced the same problem on the Ubuntu Hoary Array 5.04 Live CD, which
suggests the problem is in the live CD infrastructure rather than anything
pecular to either GNOME or KDE.
