            Bug ID: 315989
           Summary: ktimezoned doesn't watch for /etc/localtime changes if
                    the file didn't exist at startup time
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: 4.10.0
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
               URL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=906972
                OS: Linux
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kded

This bug is fixed in 4.10.1, I'm filing it so it shows up in the list of fixed
bugs.

ktimezoned would only watch for changes to /etc/localtime if the file already
existed. So if the file was not there and it gets created, nothing would
happen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
On a Fedora 18 installation with the fix for bug #315987 applied:
1. Visit System Settings->System Administration->Date & Time
2. Click on the Time Zone tab
3. Select a time zone different from the default (UTC) and hit Apply.
Actual Results:  
The time zone jumps back to UTC, and closing the dialog asks whether to apply
the changes (resetting the time zone to UTC) or discard the (bogus) changes.

Expected Results:  
kcm_clock notices the changed time.
