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
