A very similar bug was fixed in the Clock applet a while back http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519823 -- basically, the code would guess your location based on latitude and longitude, and map to a fairly random location from its database.
I'm guessing a similar fix should be applied for the time-admin component (and/or down the line, this sort of logic should be centralized into a single module or library). ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #519823 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519823 ** Summary changed: - Wrong timezone location for ex-YU Europe countries in Time & Date settings + time-admin: User-selected time zone will not stick (for some locations) ** Description changed: - Everytime I set my timezone Europe/Belgrade, click "ok" and return to the - settings, "Europe/Sarajevo" shows instead. - I tried with different cities - Zagreb, Ljubljana, Skopje - they all disappear - after window closes and Europe/Sarajevo returns. This happens for Ex-Yugoslav - republics only. + Everytime I set my timezone Europe/Belgrade, click "ok" and return to the settings, "Europe/Sarajevo" shows instead. + I tried with different cities - Zagreb, Ljubljana, Skopje - they all disappear after window closes and Europe/Sarajevo returns. + + Original reporter said "This happens for Ex-Yugoslav republics only" but + there are examples of other locations with similar problems in the + comments.
