**********************************************************************************
Thank you for the quick reply, but the problem is actually different. I 
can change the time format (eg 24 hr to 12 Hr) - that works just fine, 
it's changing the time zone which doesn't work.

As stated above, when I right click on the KDE clock and select "Adjust 
Date & Time" (which requires root access) and select the proper time 
zone for my locale from the list under the "Time Zone" tab (I pick 
America/Vancouver; for some reason Canada/Pacific isn't there, even 
though it exists under /usr/share/zoneinfo) I get the "Error setting 
time zone" error dialog and the time display remains in UTC, or PDT + 7 
hours.

Still puzzled...

Mike
