I tried it by 10 minutes, because the system was out that much when I changed to daylight saving. Instead of KDE I took your advise and altered it through MCC (not that I knew what that was, just typed it onto the konsole and entered root password.) and there was no screen blanking, just changed the clock and that was it.

When you reset time especially this much it has to re-sync X. Though I don't have the details I do know that X is time dependent. Which is why it needs to re-sync.

For whatever reason, the system eventually changes to a strange time zone - sometimes it is as much as 7 hours off pst. When I start kde the clock is fine, but eventually (sometimes in a few hours) will change the time all by itself. And does anyone else notice a screen blanking for a few seconds when the user tries to have the kicker clock settings changed? It's happening here, and it's a little bit disconcerting.
