Just to remove any doubt.. Setting the time zone from the control panel doesn't have any adverse effects such as the clock shift described above. This is is because sugar's time zone is isolated from the rest of the system as described here. Setting a different timezone on the system level will cause problems on existing builds, but there is no UI for this, and this is fixed in 11.2.0 (with a "UI" now available via olpc-os-builder configuration setting).
