Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-applets
The timezone feature of the GNOME clock uses a little house or home icon on both the menu and the map to indicate your current timezone.
This is a poor UI because the primary use case for changing timezone is when you are travelling, ie _not_ at home.
In the UI for Canon cameras, as an example, it uses a house to mean "home time zone" and a jet plan icon to mean "I'm here now".
