Also, the KDE clock has a (IMO a very annoying) "feature" that will change the timezone it displays in response to the scroll wheel. So if it ever shows a different time than the "date" command, or jumps to a different timezone, this may be the reason. You can configure the timezones that can be displayed by right-clicking on the clock, Show Timezone -> Configure Timezones. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
