My Xfce4 panel sits at the bottom of the screen, as it has done for more than 25 years, with the time at the extreme right end. Because gkrellm runs in the lower left corner of the monitor and displays the date and time as well as CPU, disk, and eth0 activities I don't pay attention to the panel time, or am even aware of it.
But, this morning when I raised the panel to shift focus to a new virtual workspace I saw the time is exactly 8 hours ahead of local time; it's on UTC time. I don't think that it was before I started using gkrellm and would check the panel time if I was not wearing a watch. Trying to set the panel time to -8 I opened the Properties; the time setting area was blank. Hovering the cursor over the text entry widget a tool-tip displayed reporting that an empty widget uses local time, but I could enter a time zone such as "America/Los Angeles", which I did. Made no difference. Examining the Xfce Menu choices I saw nothing about setting the panel clock. My hosts have always used local time, and that's what this one does. The gkrellm clock now reads 8:39 while the panel clock reads 16:39. While a minor annoyance I'd like to fix this. Does anyone know how to do so?
