Message #5 received at submit@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.2.1-1
Severity: normal
My ~/.profile has had a TZ variable defined using the "full" POSIX timezone
specification, as follows:
export TZ=EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0
The gnome-shell clock shows UTC when this is in the environment, the expected
result is to display the local time correctly as defined by that timezone
specification. If I use the fallback gnome session, the clock applet shows the
correct local time.
If I change the TZ string to just "EST5EDT" the correct local time is shown.
If I remove the TZ variable entirely, the correct system-wide local time is
shown.

I haven't tried with wheezy yet, but yes this now works for me with the
version in jessie. I will check other versions when I get a chance.
Thanks for the reminder to revisit this.

Bug is still present in the current version in wheezy. Also snagged
3.4.2-2 from snapshot.d.o to verify it is found there as well.
