 G'day :)

 I just got my loan XO (to support our Vietnamese localization), and found
 I can't set my timezone in the Sugar Control Panel.

 CST Australia (Adelaide) is UTC+0930, with Daylight Saving UTC+1030. The
 timezone list in the Sugar Control panel only has +0900 and +1000.

 Interestingly, searching tickets here for "timezone" found bug #6 which
 reported the same problem in this tracker. The bug is labelled "Fixed",
 but when I registered with this tracker, I still found that the timezone
 list in Preferences only had UTC+0900 and UTC+1000. As far as I could see,
 there were no half-hour timezones, either here or in the Sugar Control
 Panel.

 Why not use tzdata from Debian? I translate that, so I know it's up-to-
 date.

 I hope I'm reporting this in the right place. I asked on #olpc-help.

 Sorry, I can't input the Sugar version, because the XO's battery just died
 on me again. It's an XO-1, just sent by the OLPC contrib. team, so most
 likely pretty current.

 I'll probably be back: we have critical input problems with Vietnamese on
 the XO. If I can't just edit the keymap (if I can find the dratted thing),
 I'll need to bother you again.

 BFN :)
