#11665: UTC Time Zone Set in wp-settings affects items in header

 Priority:  normal        |   Milestone:  Unassigned   
Component:  Date/Time     |     Version:  2.9          
 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:  utc time_zone
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The wp-settings.php file in WordPress 2.9 sets time zone to UTC, which is
 then not set to the user-specified time zone (via the wp-admin settings)
 until just after get_header().

 This causes problems for items which use the date and/or time in the
 header file, as my random header rotator does:

 I think that if wp-settings is going to continue to set the time zone to
 UTC by default (around line 21), then the proper, user-specified time zone
 should be set earlier than "at the end of get_header()".
