Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-05-11 16:28:27 UTC 
That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/40466

"The current time is not updated immediately in the status bar when I change the timezone using the "Adjust Date & Time" utility. It is not updated until the minute changes.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Right-click on the current date and time at the top right of the screen and select "Adjust Date & Time".

2. Click "Select Time Zone...".

3. Select a timezone other than UTC.

4. Click "OK"."


The hour is updated when the label change (on seconds update if you display them on minutes update other way).  I know there was some bug open pointing to a glibc limitation but dapper has a recent enough glibc and that should be fixed with it

I believe that a glibc change broke this. It used to work fine. Can you verify if there was a change relevant to this in glibc?
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2006-08-08 10:04:58 UTC 
from a quick look to the libc6 changelog there is not a lot of changes timezone related, do you know for what to look exactly?
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2007-02-21 20:46:59 UTC 
I'll break this again when fixing bug 348749 anyway.

Patch from bug 425910 should help with this.
