When changing time zone in Ubuntu 13.10, the clock gets stuck on the old time. Yesterday evening I travelled from Manaus to Rio de Janeiro, which is a two hour time zone change to the east. At 20:40 Manaus time, I clicked on the clock on the Gnome panel, selected "Date & Time settings...", and clicked on where Rio de Janeiro is on the world map. It automatically selected Sao Paulo, which I guess is the closest place it has data for. I then closed the Time & Date window. The clock should then have changed to 22:40 (as it would have in Ubuntu 13.04), but instead stayed stuck on 20:40. Right now (11:30 Rio time the following day), the clock in the Gnome panel still says "20:40". Running the date command in a terminal produces the correct time: $ date Tue Oct 22 11:30:42 BRST 2013 so it's definitely a problem with the Gnome clock applet rather than the system time.
