Description Göran Uddeborg 2002-06-04 12:33:11 UTC 
In the messages of gnome-panel, there is a message

   Display Internet time, which is same all over the world

It is true, of course, but somewhat misleading.  But UTC is also the same
all over the world.  And so is CET for that matter.  Only the concept
"local time" differs.
Comment 1 Vincent Untz 2003-09-05 15:17:07 UTC 
Is this better (it's long but it's a gconf long description) ?

If true, display internet time. The internet time system divides the
day into 1000 ".beats". There is no time zones in this system, so time
is the same all over the world.

I can do a patch, if wanted :-)
Comment 2 Göran Uddeborg 2003-09-09 08:27:54 UTC 
I would say its better.  Not only more correct, but it also explains
this is a quite special kind of time scale.  I encourage the change.

Mark/Arvind: is the new description ok ? Can it be committed ?
