Furthermore, I was able to reproduce this in a Virtualbox Jaunty Live CD instance, even without a reboot. I set up my timezone to Europe/Helsinki, configured NTP synchronization, closed the Time and Date applet, and reopened it. Presto, Europe/Mariehamn. -- Clock applet consistently displays

Actually, even without NTP in the equation at all, I see the same here. In a Jaunty Live CD instance, open Preferences Time and Date and configure the location to Europe/Helsinki. Close Time and Date and observe that /etc/timezone has been correctly updated. Still, reopening Time and Date

... and no matter how many times I try to correct it, it's reset back to Europe/Mariehamn in the Time and Date applet next time I open it (sorry, this is in System Administration, not System Preferences). This is consistent with what I have been observing since I think at least 8.04. Reiterate,

A very similar bug was fixed in the Clock applet a while back http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519823 -- basically, the code would guess your location based on latitude and longitude, and map to a fairly random location from its database. I'm guessing a similar fix should be applied for

I was able to reproduce that Europe/Belgrade, Europe/Ljubljana, Europe/Skopje, and Europe/Zagreb get mapped to Europe/Sarajevo, but was unable to get any discrepancy for Europe/London (also since Mark Fraser is using Kubuntu, his is bound to be a different problem). This was on Jaunty 9.04. --

In http://git.gnome.org./cgit/gnome-system-tools/tree/src/time/time- tool.c the function oobs_time_config_get_timezone is used to populate the GUI. This appears to use the functions from System Tools Backends to actually obtain the current time zone. Now, my understanding of the relationships
