That is exaclty what is happening, now I changed the file that KDE 
copies to /etc/localtime and it is stable.

What I am looking for is where KDE has the information of which file to 
copy for each timezone. KDE's list of timezones is not that one, it has 
a icon (flag) comments and a link to the file to copy...
