Dear All, if I set the time with the clock at the bottom right of the screen, the clock overwrites the /etc/timezone with the correct timezone but without any newline character, and also overwrites the /etc/localtime symbolic link with a file. After this the whole system will use UTC instead of my real zone (CEST). The only solution I found is manual editing the config files and not using the GUI clock. I use Gentoo and current stable KDE.
