I use gnome on my laptop and I can adjust the time as you say, but in fact, I have installed the package ntp and after that no need to use date or other program to get accurate time. -- Gérard

Unless the thing the user clicks on links to some su system. At least in KDE, if you right click on the clock there is an option to Adjust Date Time. It then invokes kde su. Note that this kind of problem arises very often. For example a user starts a KDE session and wants to configure a printer (which can only be done by root). Even then it is solved in a similar fashion. raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
