Ahh It gets clearer now. I thought the world-clock uses the location
where I pressed 'set' as home. Thence my incredulity about the clock
changing how it works despite me not fiddling with its preferences.

I assumed the clock should keep the last 'set' location regardless of
the system timezone.

I still think this is an issue though as it is not good that the world-
clock tries to 'guess' ones location depending on the timezone that the
computer is set to.

What is required then is a way to change the home-location in the applet
without the applet trying to change my system time.

For example no matter where I travel I 'always' keep my timezone at
'UTC' this way there is no confusion with log-files and timezone
transitions. Right now as the clock is programmed this scenario would
not work as the applet would on me arriving at new locations (and
pressing set) try to change my time zones back and forth and otherwise
deny setting a new location if I do not grant authorization to do so.
