Of course....if you read the thread you'd see that I'd already provided
a solution...  :-) 

I'm not certain who you are directing the "get on with the rest of your
life" comment....but don't you think suggesting that the solution lies
within the installation dialog just a tag bit of overkill?

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.
