The problem is that KDE is running with your user's privileges, which should 
not allow it to copy anything into /etc unless you provide a root password.

I am not sure. Does RPM allow to query which package a file belongs to?
In this case you could check which package provides 
the  /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo file you found out gets copied.
