It makes no difference if I stay in the same session continuously for days or even weeks without rebooting, or a new log-in. I have actually watched the clock on my desktop at the moment the time changes for daylight savings, or changes back in the fall; it just automatically skips an hour, forwards or backwards, at 2 a.m. I just watched this happen a few weeks ago (11th of March) when the time changed here locally. Then again, I only use one clock, not three. It could be that they somehow interfere with one another; but it sounds like maybe this is your customary setup? (I chat with people in many different time zones, but I just mark different cities in my clock, then change my local time. Or, I use the very handy Trinity World Clock. Otherwise, I have a time zone map for reference.) Otherwise, maybe the bug is in your version of Trinity, or is in your OS. I run Debian Jessie, with the Trinity r14.0.4 desktop. What are you running?
