Well, 'My Settings' -> 'Date & Time' allows the user to specify the local timezone (I always do this) - but I'm not sure which routines actually make use of that setting.
It can be extracted by (all on one line): gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/home/olpc/.gconf/desktop/sugar/date --get /timezone but then you have to decode that string ( e.g., America/Chicago ). mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
