Dale,
Your fix worked, so far so good. Previously, I tried setting the time from KDE
and using the date function and both were overridden on re-boot. One would
think that either one of these functions would override the factory presets.
I see 'date' is a binary file. Does kde also use this function to change its
time and date? Where would one find the source package for 'date'?

I run KDE on my system and my clock is wrong. I
corrected several times from KDE, which sets the time to
next boot, when it reverts to the old setting. This looks
like slight bug.

This may not be a bug. It depends on how you set your
clock. You need to check the settings in
/etc/conf.d/clock and make sure you have it set up
correctly. Also, if you are dual booting with windoze,
that makes you have to have additional settings from what I
have read in the past. Windoze sets the BIOS clock
differently than Linux. I don't have windoze so
someone else will have to help with that.

The date command has nothing to do with KDE. The date command is part
of this package:
r...@smoker ~ # equery belongs date
* Searching for date ...
sys-apps/coreutils-8.4 (/bin/date)
r...@smoker ~ #
That is a system package. KDE gets the time info from the system
itself. Keep in mind, Linux is a command line OS. You are able to put
a GUI such as KDE, Gnome etc etc, on top of that system. Unlike
Windoze, you can have a system with absolutely no monitor at all. Heck,
most servers run that way. They have no monitor, no keyboard, no mouse
or anything of the sort. Most windoze boxes need that and have a GUI
even if you don't use the monitor. Gentoo usually teaches a person
that. The first time you boot up, if you follow the handbook, you get a
command line and nothing else. I usually cheat a little bit and can get
a GUI tho. ;-)
Linux has a factory preset but you have to tell it what time zone you
are in. Same with any OS I guess. After all, you can have a OS
anywhere in the world. The computer has no idea where the heck it is
until someone tells it.
Glad you got that one sorted tho.
