[kde-linux] KDE + Time Zones + Daylight-saving-time

[Mark Ness]

I can't help you specifically, but this problem has popped up on
fedoraforum.org as well, and I believe it has to do with new daylight
savings and tzdata protocols.
If you search the fedoraforum archives (use advanced search and look
for 3 months and newer. maybe daylight savings+tzdata for search
parameters.

Good luck
