root at deblap1 /home/yazdzik # tzconfig
Your current time zone is set to America/New_York
Do you want to change that? [n]: n
Your time zone will not be changed
root at deblap1 /home/yazdzik # date
Sat Apr 22 03:47:29 EDT 2006
root at deblap1 /home/yazdzik #

correct time after checking and unchecking the apply button in kde automatic 
times update is, of course,

yazdzik at deblap1 ~ % date
Sat Apr 22 09:52:21 EDT 2006
yazdzik at deblap1 ~ %


I know this is persnickety, but it seems like a good thing to try and track 
down, as it has something to do with either:

a. the system somewhere still thinks we are at home in Wien,
b. the system clock will simply not accept the fact that the hw clock is set 
to locale time.

Any guesses?

Thanks again for you taking everything so seriously.  

Warmest best wishes,

Martin
