Hi, There is a special System Settings module for this and documentation page (should be a part of your distribution, but also available online and as PDF for offline reading): http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kde-workspace/kcontrol/clock/index.html To access this configuration module just press Alt+F2 on your keyboard, then enter "time" (without quotation marks) and choose "Date & Time" from the list below. In a window that will be opened choose your time zone and configure NTP time server. Hope this helps. Best regards, Yuri

Thanks. I'll try that. If it doesn't work, we'll be back on UTC in October. Shall let you know if the workaround is effective. Apologies for the language mistake. I speak a bit of Russian, and saw your name, plus the '' at the start of the message, and drew the wrong conclusion. Richard.

[kde-doc-english] Summer Time Adjustments To Clock
Hello, Yuri, and thank-you for the prompt reply. The shortcut is useful. I have not used KDE for a while, because I had been using a really old computer, with Xfce, and it's moved on appreciably over the past few years. I had already gone to the 'Date and Time' window by the 'old' method of right-clicking on the clock and choosing 'Adjust Date and Time...', to setup the clock via europe.pool.ntp.org [after trying pool.ntp.org], and choosing my Time Zone as 'London'. Then I opted to 'Set date and time automatically:'. When clicking 'Apply', the clock changes to UTC, instead of BST. The next thing I tried was right-clicking on the clock, choosing 'Digital Clock Settings'. Then I selected 'Time Zones' and noticed that 'London' and 'UTC' were both selected. I unchecked 'UTC'. Then I clicked 'Apply'. The clock didn't change from UTC, so I repeated the process for setting time automatically, via the 'Date and Time' window. This also had no effect; my clock still shows the UTC time, instead of BST. So, I am now at a loss about what to do. ??? ???, ??? ?? ??. ??.

[kde-doc-english] Summer Time Adjustments To Clock
Hello. I'm running SolydK Linux, and live in the U.K. When setting the time via a public server, my desktop clock is being set to UTC. I can see no way of adjusting it to BST [Utc+1]. The KDE Help Centre page makes no mention, as far as I can see, about how to make the correct adjustment, and to set it as default Summertime behaviour for the clock. What is the correct way of making the adjustment, please? Thanks.

GUI: do not interfere with saved sizes when restoring geometry
restoreGeometry() and restoreState() manipulate sizes and state of certain
widgets, and there are slots connected to signals which these widgets emit
which, in the end, lead to updating the saved state on disk, which is a wrong
thing to do here.
