Also, the KDE clock has a (IMO a very annoying) "feature" that will |
33 |
change the timezone it displays in response to the scroll wheel. So |
34 |
if it ever shows a different time than the "date" command, or jumps to |
35 |
a different timezone, this may be the reason. You can configure the |
36 |
timezones that can be displayed by right-clicking on the clock, Show |
37 |
Timezone -> Configure Timezones. |
