Hi Pascal,

We've seen problems with times being offset in the past, and it has sometimes turned out to be some kind of strange behaviour with the way Sun Java handles time zones. There is some debate about the best way to fix it.

I believe the fix you found (opening the date/time dialog in GNOME and setting the time zone) probably touched a file that Sun Java looks at to determine what time zone you are in.

This thread is a good place to start investigating further:

and the Ubuntu bug which is linked from there might also be helpful.

Please do keep us informed if you make any progress.

Thanks very much,

Andy

Starting with 0.10.5 I've a 4 hours time offset.
Pressing "View Now" brings me at the right place, these are the current
playing programs but displayed time has a 4 hours offset.

e.g. Right now, it's 11h52, but time displayed is 15h52.

See attached screenshot.

It believe this belongs upstream, but since i've already sent a message
to the upstream mailing list and got no response, i'm hoping you'll be
more lucky.

thanks,
