           Summary: Clock settings tool assumes hardware clock is UTC
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: sourtooth+ssbugs@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: pocallaghan@gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

On dual-booted machines, one system might assume that the hardware clock is set
to UTC, and the other might assume it isn't. This leads to inconsistent clock
settings when switching between the two systems. For example Windows normally
assumes the hardware clock is local time and Linux usually assumes the
opposite. The Gnome clock setting widget (also accessible via
system-config-clock) has a tick-box to select which of these alternatives to
use, but the KDE Date and Time settings dialogue does not. This means that the
KDE user has to use the Gnome tool to set the option, even assuming he knows
how to do this. This situation is undesirable and should be changed.
