Bug description:
The gnome panel clock applet's "Locations" section assigns the wrong timezone 
to many cities if you add them via Edit -> Add -> Find. Examples of cities that 
have the wrong timezone assigned include Pittsburgh USA, Beijing China, Bombay 
(Mumbai) India, St. Petersburg Russia and many others.

The cause of the bug is that the timezone is selected based on the nearest city 
in the database which has a timezone named for it, ignoring political 
boundaries.

WORKAROUND:
If you know the correct timezone for a city, after pressing "OK" in the Find 
dialog, you can override the timezone in the "Timezone" dropdown box.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
I went to the preferences panel of GNOME's clock applet to add a location. 
However, when I went to add Pittsburgh, it associated the city with the 
America/Detroit timezone when it belongs America/New York timezone. The 
latitude and longitude are correct.
