Comment 1 for bug 199976

I have a similar issue with my timezone being off. I just upgraded to Hardy alpha 6 and started noticing this problem (although it was also around the DST change, so may be unrelated). I live in Champaign, IL, which is automatically grouped in with America/Indiana/Vincennes. This gives me EDT, where I should be CST. A more appropriate choice for timezone would be America/Chicago.

I second the opinion that we should consider timezone regions of a broader scope-- it doesn't make sense to have many cities represented in the same timezone-- it only adds clutter.
