Comment:

 OK, part of my problem was that I did 'su -' above, instead of just 'su'.
 But changing from su to sudo might break sugar-control-panel; I made a
 note in #5537 to ensure that SUGAR_PATH is preserved.  Are there other
 environment variables which Sugar needs saved?

 sugar-control-panel in joyride-1424 seems already not to write to
 /etc/timezone, so that file can probably be safely removed.  I assume
 we're running tzdata-update correctly, as /etc/localtime seems to be
 updated after the write to /etc/sysconfig/clock.

 In any case, it seems like the only remaining work on this ticket is
 getting rid of /etc/timezone in pilgrim.  I opened #5561 for "no way to
 set clock" and #5562 for "no way to know what valid time zones are".
