Proposed fix

The file /etc/localtime is watched in gnome-desktop/libgnome-desktop/gnome-wall-clock.c so that changes to the timezone can be detected. This monitoring does no longer work when changing the timezone via Settings -> Date & Time -> TimeZone

I located the issue to inotify-path.c:549
    if (event->pair && event->pair->wd != event->wd)
If i change that line to
    if (event->pair)
the monitoring works again.

I don't if this is the proper fix, but it at least works for me.
