Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

I didn't notice this bug until now, and the bug is present on Gutsy and on Hardy beta too.

SO WHAT IT IS ?
When you create a new event on evolution's calendar, you can see them by clicking on the gnome-panel's date. There you can see the name of the event and the hour of the event. BUT the hour in gnome-panel is 18 minutes later than the REAL event you have entered in evolution.

I post a video, taken on Gutsy, but it's the same for Hardy.

Yes this is reproducible with another new account. I've just created a new user account on Hardy Beta, and the bug is still present. If you want a new video from Hardy tell me.

Maybe it's a problem of "location". I'm from Reunion Island (Indian Ocean), and French. Problem of language/translation/jet lag ?

I've just install hardy and the problem is STILL there !
BUT I've found why : Evolution at first start up ask for a "time zone", that's little strange because you do this at Ubuntu's install. But the time zone of evolution is not the same as Ubuntu. (or Gnome's clock)

I'm in Reunion Island, so it's UTC +04:00. Ubuntu's clock is ok with that.
But in Evolution, Reunion Island is UTC +03:41:52, so if you take your calculator, we have 18 minutes of difference. That's why I have 18 minutes more in my panel.

The problem is not only for reunion island, but for many countries, just look by yourself.

I hope this information was useful, and wait for a patch !
