The user's time zone would then default to the system time zone at that time. In that case, changing the system time zone would not change the user's time zone setting. You can try creating a new user, logging in using KDE, and see if the local time is displayed correctly. If it is, then you will have to search KDE for a time zone setting. One thing I do know is that you can set a user's time zone to be different then the system time zone. This is handy for a system that has remote users from different time zones. That way, the user sees his/her local time for things like the time display, and calendars and such, even though the system is in a different time zone. (Log entries will still show the computer's time zone, or UTC, depending on the application generating them.)
