Debian Sid, with KDE. If I right click on the clock and then login as root to
adjust the time, it says it's in UTC timezone and it shows the correct
current time. If I tell it to use MST, it switches to 7 hours ahead on my
clock. If I correct the time, it goes back to UTC the next time I look.

My timestamps are for UTC, and I want them to be local time because it's
confusing. I know I'M confused :-/
