Bugzilla running on top of MySQL can't handle timezones properly. Yes. It's a shame but it's the fact. This leads to several problems, including wrong times stored in case the timezone on server uses daylight savings time (as Novell bugzilla servers do). And, secondly, there can't be any feature such as 'Display times in bugzilla in CET timezone for me'. This script solves the second problem - times displayed on bug pages will be in your local timezone. However, it can't solve the first problem, so expect that the bugzilla's bug mentioned as the first one above become more visible for you :-)
