"Set Time..." doesn't know what timezone I picked.

Bug Description

In the Dapper graphical installer, at the time zone configuration screen, if I pick a time zone and then click on "Set Time...", the dialog that pops up claims that I haven't selected a time zone yet. This is a bit counterintuitive; shouldn't it know what I just picked?

To be more clear:

   (1) Start the installer.
   (2) Select a language (so you are at the time zone selection screen).
   (3) Select a time zone.
   (4) Click "set time...".
   (5) Note that the "set time" dialog claims no time zone is selected.

  This may be related to the bug about being able to pop up a second time zone selection window.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Remove "Set Time..." button, which is far more trouble than it's worth
    (LP: #49412, #52716, #52717, #73907, #76564). You can adjust the time
    after installation.
  * Fix a silly typo while setting up the resize progress bar (LP: #77523).
  * Don't say "beta version" in the alpha intro message.
  * Move language list box to the left-hand side of its page rather than the
    bottom, on the basis that you have to choose a language before you can
    read the text.
  * Switch to glade-3 (those with branches that modify ubiquity.glade, take
    note).
  * Add special cases to restore correct handling of Chinese and Portuguese
    language codes.
  * If /cdrom/.disk/release_notes_url is present, display a link to the
    release notes on the language page. See doc/README for the format
    (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubiquity-release-notes).
  * Remove no-longer-canonical /distros from Launchpad URLs.
  * Sync up hostname handling with netcfg; it now allows hostnames between 2
    and 63 characters in length, forbids them starting or ending with a
    hyphen, and interprets hostnames containing dots as hostname.domain and
    adjusts /etc/hosts accordingly (LP: #52501, #72909).

  * Port KDE frontend to Qt 4

Colin, this bug report is in regards to Dapper, not Feisty, if you read the OP. I'd change the part where it says Feisty on the left if I could figure out how.
