I've never tried Toaster, but I'm in GMT so I wouldn't be able to tell :)

It may be a Debianism but TZ isn't set at all so that's equally
unreliable.  I wonder what time.tznames is actually doing.

/etc/localtime was originally a Debianism but is also the canonical
file that systemd handles, so it's got a much wider install base now.
The similar file that Fedora has used to be /etc/sysconfig/clock.

is the first hit for some code I was involved in some time ago that
tried to work everywhere.  It's probably bitrotted quite dramatically
though...
