** Description changed:

  Standard alarms will not work correctly after changing timezone and
  during DST change.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install Timer from Store: https://uappexplorer.com/app/timer.mivoligo
  2. Set timer to 5 minutes
  3. Open Clock app. Look for alarm, and notice that alarm is correctly set
  3. Switch to System Settings -> Time & Date -> Time zone:
  4.  Change Time zone to something different (eg. New York). (Or wait for DST change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time)
  
  Expected behaviour:
  - timer ringing as expected after timezone/DST change
  
  Current behaviour:
  - alarm is not ringing. (you could check active alarms in "Ubuntu Clock app)
  
  Proposal solution:
  - introduce new type of alarms, which is based on UTC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time) and independent from time zones.
+ - This alatms will not be visible in applications which is using standard alarms (Ubuntu Clock, Ubuntu Calendar etc.)

** Summary changed:
