The system is set up in a way analogous to Linux From Scratch 
(http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter06/glibc.html -install timezone data)

Basically a symlink /etc/localtime -> /usr/local/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Dubai
And $TZ=Asia/Dubai

Do you mean gnome-control-center? If so, yes I'm using it and everything works fine expect those parts 
relying on timedated and friends.
