Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Using the 'Adjust Date and Time' option, if I click on 'Set System Time', when the dialog closes the system time is set one hour forward of the time displayed. To set the clock correctly using this dialog, I have to manually set the time to one hour in the past!

However, if I change my timezone to Europe/London (a timezone which is not currently on DST), the system clock is correctly set to the same value as is displayed in the dialog.

So it appears that the offset to UTC is calculated wrong when setting the system clock, in the case where DST is in effect.
