TimeZoneSelector - setting time zone properties not working on FC7 Linux?

[zzzz8.zzzz8.netzero.net]

I have the following code in my bean to set the raw offset in my time zone via the timeZoneSelector component:

timeZoneSelector.getTimeZone().setRawOffset(60000);

Unfortunately, the offset is not set at all after calling this statement.  My log statement (called after this statement) shows the offset has not been changed.  My environment is Fedora Core 7, Java 5 Update 13, JBoss 4.2.2 GA, Seam 2.0.0 GA, ICEfaces 1.7 Beta 1.

I know this should work because it actually works on my Windows XP environment (Windows XP, Java 5 Update 12, JBoss 4.2.2 GA, Seam 2.0.0 GA, ICEfaces 1.7 Beta 1)!

I looked over the web to see if this was a Linux/Java problem but couldn't really find anything on it.  Am I doing anything wrong here?

timeZoneSelector.getTimeZone() hands you back the system timezone for the selected timezone identifier - so any problems arise from the JDK - like you say, it works on Windows but not Linux.
