Description Brian Beardall 2008-04-19 01:24:25 UTC 
Gnome 2.22.1.2 crashes if /etc/timezone is missing and the /etc/localtime is a normal file. gnome-panel doesn't crash if /etc/timezone is a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/YOUR_TIMEZONE.

2.22.1.3 has another bunch of fixes for timezone stuff. Could you bump the ebuild in a local overlay and let us know if it fixes your issue?

If not, it might be a good idea to file a bug upstream.

Thanks

I bumped gnome-panel to 2.22.1.3 and it did fix the problem.
Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-19 22:27:02 UTC 
commited 2.22.1.3 to the tree.
