Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Sunrise and sunset for all locations is reported in your system's time, rather than a particular location's time.

For example, where I am, Victoria Canada, it is 15:30 Sunday march 2.
At that time, it is 01:31 Monday in Sofia, Bulgaria, and the clock correctly shows that time.
However, it says that Sunrise is at 21:00 and Sunset is at 08:21, which are the times in Victoria when the sun rises and sets in Sofia. Rather, it should report the times in Sofia when the sun rises and sets in Sofia.

Using Clock 2.21.92, Ubuntu Hardy.
