Bug#319471: gnome-applets: Local time in gweather can be misleading

[Christian Luijten]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.12.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #319471

Local time under 'Last update', 'Sunrise' and 'Sunset' are good, but
'local time' is relative to what you call local. 

For instance, I have an Eindhoven and a Reykjavik applet, which have
different local times, but which one is shown by the applet? Judging
from the values I would say local time of the computer, but that looks
strange for the other applet (sunset in Reykjavik at 22:34??).

Maybe the times for both timezones should be shown if they differ.


Thanks,
Christian
