I actually had the same problem. It took me about 5 tries to change
the time from the KDE control panel. The first time my screen went
black for about 10 seconds and I thought I'd crashed my box :)..
After that it would just set itself to random timezones... I just
kept on trying it until it stuck to the right time. Looks like this
is a KDE bug....
