How to set the time and timezone in Wine

Hi,
I've installed a small clock app called Qlock into a Wine 1.0.1 installation on an Ubuntu 8.10 install. The app works fine except that it is showing GMT time! I wish to know if there is any way to set the clock in Wine so that apps use the correct timezone and time. I can't seem to find the TimeZoneInformation in the registry files.

Cheers,
Peter

AFAIK you can't. It's taken from the system. Make sure your system timezone is set correctly.

The system time is fine, its also in the correct time zone.

You may have chosen the wrong setting when installing Ubuntu when
asked if your system uses UMT time. Try asking on the Ubuntu list.

So what should I have chosen? As far as I can remember the installation only asks you where you location is in the world, then it determines the timezone, which I reiterate is correct.

You really need to ask this in your distro's forum. It is not a Wine question.

What does 'date' command say?
