Description Savvas Radević 2006-10-28 20:30:01 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I'm from Serbia(Belgrade). This is a weird behaviour, the time zone 'defaults' to Europe/Sarajevo. What I mean is that even though I select Europe/Belgrade, it goes back to Europe/Sarajevo by itself.
It's not the NTP, nor the "synchronize now", I've tried all the possible ways I could think of to bypass the time zone problem, but it goes back to europe/sarajevo

Steps to reproduce:
1. Right click on the clock item on gnome panel and select "adjust date&time"
2. Click on "select time zone" button and choose Europe/Belgrade
3. Click Close and Close
4. Right click again on the clock item on gnome panel and select "adjust date&time"

Actual results:
Europe/Sarajevo remains the default time zone

Expected results:
Change the time zone from Europe/Sarajevo to Europe/Belgrade and keep it that way (i.e. as default)

Does this happen every time?
Yes

I'm using Ubuntu Edgy EFT, which doesn't have a root account, but as a normal user i can use sudo.
Note that I also tried from terminal:
sudo time-admin

and:
sudo -s
time-admin

Still the same

Version of gnome-system-tools: 2.15.5-0ubuntu2

I've also tried switching to other time zones e.g. american or asian or european, all seem to work, only europe/belgrade when closing time-admin and running it again it shows europe/sarajevo
