I thought this to be so, too. I was astonished to see that people seem to 
have had some problems with this.

And I was not sure if this is true or not, so I asked.

BTW:

I did try the Ubuntu Live CD and it did reset my computer's clock to either 
daylight saving time or universal time - both -1:00, so I cannot be sure 
which.

This is no real problem, though, merely a very minor annoyance. Still, this 
should not be.
