These four steps should do everything:

  1) tzconfig or tzsetup (set time zone)
  2) date MMDDHHmmCCYY (change the date & time)
  3) hwclock --localtime (set hardware clock to localtime)
  4) hwclock --systohc (set system time to hardware clock)

Of course, restart icewm after you've done all that.
