Comment 4 Rui Matos 2011-06-24 03:04:05 UTC 
The attached patch fixes the problem. The reason Bastien wasn't able to reproduce this is because he's probably testing with glib master which already has this commit:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=de3a3b181a97d43acd29bcdcdbd7406233b7ee9f

and thus only calls getenv() once. With glib version 2.28 the first call for getting the time to display is done before calling tz_info_from_location() but then for all the other calls getenv("TZ") returns "" which forces a fallback to GMT.
