Just to be sure, can you try changing the time with the 'date' command
instead of the KDE applet?

There's probably another problem apart from X freezing when the time is
changed. Maybe the system clock is not stored correctly in the hardware
clock before shutdown. I remember having problems like this on a core
duo processor because hwclock needed the --directisa command line option.

You could try without a X server at all, check the time from a virtual
text console, change it, shutdown, restart and see what time you get.
Anyway, that would be a bug in another package.
