            Bug ID: 325073
           Summary: kcmshell4 clock
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.10.5
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR

This belongs under kcmshell4, but kcmshell4 does not show up in the list.

Something keeps resetting local time to UTC. I disabled ntpd (another
unresolved bug), so I can set my time zone. The clock is still set to the time
UTC is, but with my local time zone. These means that I am four hours out of
sync.

This is an extreme issue in my mind because the clock does not show the correct
time. Even if one knows the clock is wrong, one's mind tends to focus on the
displayed time and forgets about it being wrong. It would be better to have no
clock, but disabling or removing the clock is not a solution.

Additionally, I don't care if this has been fixed in a newer version because I
am stuck with this version until I get an update from Ubuntu. This needs to be
pushed downstream as a security update so that it gets updated for all.

Marking a bug as WORKSFORME is not viable in my mind. I don't care that it
works for you any more than you don't care that it doesn't work for me. This
way of marking a bug sounds arrogant and condescending.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the computer.
2. Set the correct time.
3. Reboot the computer.
Actual Results:  
The time is wrong.

Expected Results:  
The time should ALWAYS be correct.
