Description nspmangalore 2011-06-23 18:06:40 UTC 
The main clock in gnome3 shows time in GMT instead of the local timezone selected in the date and time settings.

What's your distribution? Are you building the Shell from source?

Ah, Sorry I forgot to provide the details.
I have the x86_64 version of Fedora 15 installed. default configuration.

My timezone is +0530 hrs. (not that it matters)

Attached a date/time settings. 
It shows correct time in IST, but you'll also see the time shown in GMT, which gets displayed on the top of gnome-shell.

Very irritating. :)

Comment 5 nspmangalore 2011-06-23 19:01:27 UTC 
Actually, there seem to be two date/time settings in gnome3.

One is the date/time settings from gnome2 (system-config-date). This was the first attachment that i added to this bug. In there, the time and date is fine.

There seems to be another date/time settings (available through the gnome-shell clock). Changing time in here seems to mess up things. 

On opening this tool, it shows the same time as the main clock. But when the clock rolls to the next minute, looks like this one doesn't respect the timezone selected and falls back to GMT time.

For example, look at the second attachment. 
The local time is June 24 00:03.
But after a minute, the date and time tool starts showing time in GMT.
This confusion caused me to update the time wrongly.

For people having similar issues, use system-config-date to update time predictably.

I don't understand half of those comments. Anyway, bug 649568 seems to have a similar problem. Up to you guys to find me a way to reproduce the problem...
