system clock problems

my system clock appears to be screwed up. see this screenshot:

i have my clock set to the right time (in the Adjust Date/Time from KDE) but the KDE applet clock is displaying UTC time.

i seem to remember at some point setting something indicating whether my cpu clock was set to local time or utc. i took a guess. is that hte problem? if so, where can i change that setting?

btw this is a gentoo 2004.2 box

thanks for the help,

just looks to me like the applet is too small, nd there aint enough space for the 2 to fit one, so its being ommited ?

no, because right now (at 6:48) it is showing 10:48 just fine

well, im using Gentoo too... and all i did was make sure /etc/localtime was a symbolic link to the correct timezone... maybe you missed this step ?

no i did that step - but maybe i screwed it up. it was my first Gentoo install. i will have to double-check when i get home.
