ZideLook uses a silo install;  everything it uses is pretty much
independent of the distro.  Accordingly it keeps it own TimeZone tables
(example: /opt/skyrix/skyrix/Libraries/Resources/libFoundation/TimeZoneInfo) which I don't think have been updated.

A simple solution is to sym-link your correct TimeZone files into the
ZideLook silo:

mv /opt/skyrix/skyrix5/Libraries/Resources/libFoundation/TimeZoneInfo \
  /opt/skyrix/skyrix5/Libraries/Resources/libFoundation/TimeZoneInfo.old
ln -s  /usr/local/share/libFoundation/TimeZoneInfo/ \
  /opt/skyrix/skyrix5/Libraries/Resources/libFoundation/TimeZoneInfo

Assuming your libFoundation timezone files are
in /usr/local/share/libFoundation/TimeZoneInfo/, etc...

Then restart ZideLook

If you have corrected timezone files please send them upstream so we can
get libFoundation fixed.  There are numerous timezone bugs in bugzilla.
