As for the UTC=true...I have my doubts about that. While I didn't do any extensive research, I found that checking the UTC box in the Gnome clock utility did *not* alter that file to include that phrase...at least not with my time zone....but maybe that is due to my time zone not having DST. The bottom line is that the obvious utility which I looked at, as other people did too, did not have a check box for that setting and a bugzilla has been written.
