Thanks for the pointer... Indeed, I see this was fixed on SLE12: : But this patch was never submitted to the openSUSE community and as a result is not available in the openSUSE packages. : We'll probably have to find a 'smarter' way for things like that.
Ouch. That's not ideal. Agreed, there is potential for improvement.
I'll see if I can forward port that TZ patch into GNOME 3.14.
I just got the update via Factory, and it works like a charm. And did not require a reboot or restart of GNOME, even. Thank you very much, Dominique!
PS: I have my systems generally setup to do auto-timezone switching (control-center/date&time) and have actually not had to change the TZ manually for a while... even more comfort than 'just not requiring the root password'
Yes, though I have had hotel networks where the automatic detection did not work reliably. Probably because it was a larger hotel chain and they were routing private IP addresses via some central locations in a different timezone (think different timezones within the US). Plus, when I board a plane I usually switch to the destination timezone. Without being connected to the Internet. That one probably won't work automatically before GNOME 4.14 when gnome-clock and gnome-itinary will be coupled? ;-) Gerald PS: Below my current "GNOME 3 on SUSE Papercuts" list; several issues (incl. the two listed at the end) have been resolved already, and I feel things definitely are moving in the right direction.
