Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
In some cases (such as bug #199582), one may wish to pick a location for
weather and specify a different timezone than the one autopopulated by
the location tool. In that case, gnome-panel will override the location
code used for weather with the one corresponding to the city of the
*timezone*, not the location code matching the city originally selected!
Here is a result after choosing North America -> US -> Oregon ->
Portland -> HIllsboro Airport from the chooser:
$ gconftool -g /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs/cities
[<location name="Portland" timezone="America/Vancouver" latitude="45.548054"
longitude="-122.954445" code="KHIO" current="true"/>]
And here is the setting after manually changing the timezone to the
correct value through the UI by typing out the timezone name:
$ gconftool -g /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs/cities
[<location name="Portland" timezone="America/Los_Angeles" latitude="45.548054"
longitude="-122.954445" code="CYVR" current="true"/>]
And again, here is the value if I select the timezone from the pulldown
list:
$ gconftool -g /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs/cities
[<location name="Portland" timezone="America/Los_Angeles" latitude="45.548054"
longitude="-122.954445" code="KCQT" current="true"/>]
The METAR code should only be updated when changing the location, not
when changing the timezone.
