I posted a query in the Xfce Desktop forum, but no replies so far. My current theory is that there is a library or config file somewhere that tells it when DST starts, and the date is the old one before it was moved back. But that doesn't explain why it always worked before. I've had Xfce on my Fedora laptop for at least a couple of years now, and I have never had this problem before. It is also strange that the Xubuntu 12.04 desktop is equally affected. I'm pretty sure the problem is limited to the datetime widget in the panel. From the command line the date command returns the right time, and ntpq -p tells me that both computers are communicating with the ntp servers, so their internal clocks are set correctly. For some reason the datetime widget has stopped updating itself or, if it is still updating itself, it has the time zone or onset time for DST wrong. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
