[kde-linux] clock off by an hour

This is sort of driving me mad.  My system's time is correct from the
terminal and from system settings -> date and time.  However, the
clock applet says that it is an hour earlier than it is.  I'm running
KDE 4.3.2 under Gentoo on a laptop.  The time was fine for a few
weeks, and then one day I woke up my laptop and it was off by an hour.
 I've tried rebooting, exiting KDE (and X) to restart dbus, and
deleting .kde4/share/config/ktimezonedrc.  Nothing had any effect, and
KDE somehow managed to recover the ktimezonedrc file that I had
deleted.  That was sort of spooky.  Anyhow, does anybody know how I
can get my clock back to displaying the correct time?

I can also add an analog clock widget; it displays the same (wrong)
time that the digital clock displays.  How can the system settings
have a different time from the applets?  Don't they get the time from
a common source?
