 There is no need to write this into gconf for this to apply in Sugar.

 I'd like not to have to set sugar's timezome post build, think sugar
 should default to what the system is set as, like the behaviour is for GMT
 only.

 On a slightly different note, once in the field how would you change the
 timezone so gnome's clock applet displays correctly for the timezome your
 in? Is that not based on what is in /etc/localtime? For F14, has sugar-
 control-panel gained the ability to change the system time and not just
 export $TZ? for sugar?
