Please let me know if you can do this.
One note: The digital clock does not work correctly. I can only get it to
show GMT. I've found a lot of complaints via google about the digital
clock, so consider that to be a work in progress. The analog clock is
fine.
I put some basic comments on plasma into the kf5 wiki page a while
ago (for want of anywhere more appropriate), in particular mentioning
things which people might not need to build. As well as mentioning a
wrapper script, and commenting that konqueror crashed like in kde4 [
e.g. slashdot if you need an example ] I put the following about the
clock, based on what we said during the summer (you rejected the
symlink for LFS).

I've been doing that since July, and it worked for me. At the
moment, of course, my TZ matches UTC so I only need the fix during
British Summer Time.
Thanks. I generally don't look at the wiki pages, but what is there seems to be
good for the time when you wrote it. Now that Plasma is in the book, it needs
an
update.
Indeed changing /etc/localtime fixes the problem, but it really seems weird
that it
insists on a symlink.
It's more than just a symlink. I copied localtime to localtime.orig and then did a
symlink from localtime -> localtime.orig. I got a blank where the digital time
should be.
Also, I deleted all hidden files in my test user (except .bash*) and restarted. I
got a crash (segfault) from baloo, but otherwise the desktop started. Logging out
and restarting, the segfault did not recur.
I tried a second time as an initial user startup and got a blank screen so I killed
the session. After resetting localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago and
resetting the .files things seemed to work OK.
I'll note that the initial startup time takes a while, but after that the start time
is OK.
