Bug#328895: xclock: man page does not document how to show the time of different timezones



Package: xbase-clients
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7
Severity: minor
File: /usr/X11R6/bin/xclock
Tags: patch

I just tried to find out how to let xclock show the time of different
timezones and didn't find anything at first. Please consider the attached
patch to the xclock man page to document that you can use the TZ variable for
that.

regards
 Thorsten
