I was just talking to a friend in eastern Australia and it's 3pm, not 4pm. They've already switched to daylight savings time Down Under. The Dashboard World Clock still tells me it's 4pm there.

Anyone else seeing this?

If your signature is correct, your operating system is out of date.

I'm up to date and also have this issue. My TV Guide widget is also an hour behind, which makes me think that Dashboard somehow has it's own way of getting the date/time?

My system is correct, and uses the apple timeserver. Odd.

But you had not switched yet.

right, but a World clock should tell the correct time for the area of the world you are looking at.

Yup, CA hadn't switched. Since the dashboard included world clock(s) were set to tell me the correct time in overseas locations I had expected it to be correct!

They went back one hour in Aus., while north of the equator went forward an hour.

The signature was out of date, I was using 10.4.5 and now updated to 10.4.6. The dashboard clock is telling me the right times again.

I get the same thing. I'm currently in Japan (which doesn't use daylight savings), and I often get shown the incorrect time for countries which do use daylight savings. Normally it's an hour slow, for some reason.
