Package: xfce4
Version: 4.8.0.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

my laptop has it’s global timezone set to UTC (as I do it for every
computer), but I life in Germany where CE(S)T is correct. For this I have set
the TZ-variable of my user (dab) to "Europe/Berlin" in my .bashrc. This works
lovely on the command-line, in Konsole and if I use startx to start xfce from
the shell. It does howerever not work if I use the grafical login. In this case
the global timezone (UTC) is used and all programs I start by xfce (with the
exception of Konsole) use the wrong timezone.
Because I can not find a setting for the timezone in xfce I think the TZ-
variable should be honored and used.

Sincerely,
DaB.
