Issue with Timezone in KDE

[Colin Worthy]

I am having an odd issue with setting the correct timezone in KDE.  I have set 
the correct timezone from the command line and it seems to stay for a while, 
but eventually is reverting to UTC time.  I should be in Central Daylight 
time (Americas/Chicago).  If I try to set the correct timezone from within 
KDE it simply ignores my change and stays set on UTC time.  

I am using NTP to try to keep the time on my machine correct.  This problem 
has only recently come up.  I am not sure when exactly, but it used to always 
have the correct time.  

Therefore my machine is currently displaying UTC time, which is about 5 hours 
too fast.  

I would really appreciate anyones help in trying to figure out what I am doing 
wrong.  

Thanks, 

Colin
