Yes, I was quite sure this only this could and should happen if you
will switch timezone in clockapplet (a very poor cousin of that
would a modification only for a time displayed by _that_ clock).  I
was quite surprised when I found out that /etc/localtime changed.

Not quite if you can start on your system a Gnome desktop session
and you have 'gnome-panel' package installed.  That provides
/usr/libexec/clock-applet.  Log out from a KDE session, change a
session type, login into a Gnome desktop, proceed like above ...
