I'd always assumed that this was some user-specific KDE- specific timezone variable, but it seems that system settings panel is supposed to provide some functionality to change the system-wide timezone. However, I also see "You are note allowed to save the configuration". I have no idea what exactly this configuration pane would actually set if it did have permissions. I'm afraid I also don't know how KDE system settings panels are supposed to request root permissions to allow settings like this. It's probably best to stick to the Arch standard way on this (see the wiki page on Time). But, I'm intrigued as to whether or not KDE can request root permissions for things like this... anyone know if this should/can work? Pete.
