Hi Spongebob,

I had exactly the same problem and STILL DO!  I assume from the above you mean 
the "KDE Control Center".  I make the change there, click "Apply", and all 
looks fine.  But getting out of that screen and then back into it again shows 
it went back to UTC (instead of CST in my case).  No matter what I do, the 
change I make does not "stick" or "take".

If you have solved the problem, what is the secret?  Did you try logging out 
and back in again?  Whenever I do, it reverts back to UTC.  And even though 
my /etc/timezone says "America/Chicago" and my clock can be set to that, 
email on Kmail comes stamped with UTC, both incoming and outgoing.  Doing a 
"tzconfig" says it is "America/Chicago" also.

Anybody?

Thanks,
Don
