On my laptop, it seems that at every boot the clock is offseted by my timezone.
Date/Time properties shows "System clock uses UTC" unchecked. This is a dual- boot with WinXP, so I must keep the bios clock on local time. Yet, it seems that when I boot the bios clock is read as UTC nevertheless.
As an aside, there's a Windows hack (changing one of the registry entries) which allows setting the hardware clock to UTC. Unfortunately, in XP the time may not be properly restored after suspend/hibernate (which I don't do anyway on my XP/Fedora desktop so that doesn't affect me). It should work properly without this issue in Vista SP2 or Windows 7.
