Bug Description
Under the gnome international clock, the times seem to be incorrect for places that do no use daylight savings time. For example, if you have your home set to Honolulu (Hawaii does not have daylight savings time), it will report Los Angeles (which does adhere to daylight savings time) as +2 hours ahead - which is only true for a few months out of the year (during daylight savings time). The rest of the year it should be at +3.
Note in the attached screenshot, that the current time in San Diego is 2:32pm, not 1:32pm as it reports.
Release: Ubuntu hardy (dev branch) 8.04

Can you confirm that San Diego actually has the correct timezone (I assume America/Los Angeles ?) associated with it? This may be an occurence of bug 185190 (wrong assignment of timezone to cities) rather than DST.
