This is an intentional change; we think having some location selected is better
than none at all; it makes the location support more understandable. Ideally,
we will have a) geolocation support to automatically detect your location and
b) firstboot support to select the default location.

ok, that is good idea,
libgweather providing default region for each locale (for weather information),

I find the part of comment #2 after "Ideally" good. I disagree with the first
part, though. Although I see the need of hinting the user about location
support, I think that arbitrarily picking a location implies favoring a given
city or country over all others and this may make some users feel
discriminated. Politics may come at play here. Why a city on the East Coast and
not on the West Coast? Why not a city in another country or continent?
So while the changes in comment #2 are being implemented, there should be no
default location selected without any input from the user.
If I remember correctly, there was no hinting about location support previous
versions of Fedora anyway, so there is no regression in not providing any in
Fedora 12.

Why does this need to be during firstboot?
Fedora 12 asked for my timezone/location when I installed it by showing a big
map and getting me to click on it. Why doesn't it use that? It logged it in my
anaconda-ks.cfg file, and assumably stored that information someplace.
Also, I agree with Davide that having no default location is better than
choosing one arbitrarily.

I agree with Kieran.
I already selected Chicago from the map, so start there if you need a default.
What is the point of me choosing if it will be ignored? Make the weather show
in Chicago. At least that is in the same time zone.
Taking it a step further-
I do not know if there is an equivalent of a zip code abroad (I admit this is
probably something I should not be ignorant of) but maybe ask for that or give
me a list of "weather locations" in the region of the "Chicago"
selection I
made earlier while doing the install.
Why is it giving me Chicago option just to select Boston on it's own?
I really want my weather the be in St. Louis, MO (which is Chesterfield, MO in
the weather list) in the first place.

I agree with Dave seems better UX to default
to the selected system timezone location.

well part of the problem, I think, is the clock wants the user's actual
location not timezone. We only get timezone during install, so e.g., if a user
lives in Boston they would pick New York as a timezone.
That means if we used that information we would still end up with the wrong
location out of the box in the clock.
I think ideally anaconda would let the user pick location not just timezone and
then we could make gnome-panel (or the shell in gnome 3) pick that up by
default

I can't reproduce the original report with F15.
So proposing to close this...
Anyway I guess the RFE is a gnome issue not anaconda.
Probably better to open a bug for that, upstream even.
