Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"

gnome-panel:
  Installed: 1:2.21.92-0ubuntu1

When adding multiple locations from around the country to the Locations section of the Time applet, two locations come up as the Home timezone, despite daylight savings being applied at my location (Melbourne) but not at the other (Brisbane). This is confusing as local time is different in these locations. See attached screenshot.

While daylight savings is in effect in my location I would expect my location to have the Home icon, but not at the location where daylight savings is not in effect. This is because the local time in the two locations is different, despite being in the same timezone. When daylight savings time is not applied in either zone (as will be the case in the southern winter), then I would expect the home timezone to be displayed at both locations because the local time will be the same.

Thank you for your bug report. That is supposed to be fixed in the current hardy version, could you upgrade and try if you still get the issue?
