Comment 34 for bug 185190

This bug should really be addressed one way or another for 8.04. The consequences of relying on gnome-panel to choose the right time zone for you are potentially quite unfortunate.

Sebastien, what's your opinion on #199644 as a preliminary fix for this? I still believe that the current behavior is mis-optimizing for weather instead of time, and that fixing 199644 is therefore correct in its own right and also goes a long way to address the worst symptoms of this bug.
