KDE clock showing 1 hour ahead

[andy <geek_show@dsl.pipex.com>]

Greetings Debianistas

My wife's machine (Debian Etch, clean install) is consistently showing 
Europe/Guernsey (BST) in its clock settings and somehow this is always 
one hour ahead of real time.
I have checked the BIOS clock which is set to the regular time and I 
don't think that it is set to UTC. Also, the time-zone should read 
Europe/London. I have tried numerous ways of altering this, even killing 
off gdm so that I can login as root to fix it in Gnome. Then, reboot, 
and it's back to being 1 hour ahead again.

What can I do to fix this, as it is a real PITA to keep having to fix it 
for her, and let's face it, it shouldn't be necessary to do so.

Thanks for any assistance.

Cheers

A
