In case others might find this useful, on my YDL 3.0 system at work,
after updating the tzdata RPM package and the /etc/localtime file,
while the "date" command then returned the correct time, the clock
in the KDE Panel was still an hour behind.  While you could just
logout from KDE and then re-login to fix this, I had a lot of windows
open which I didn't want to disturb, so after a Google search I found
the following command which did the trick for me:

	dcop kicker kicker restart

This restarted the KDE kicker, after which the clock had the correct
time.

On my YDL 4.1 system at home this wasn't necessary.  After doing the
system updates, the clock just showed the correct time without any
manual KDE intervention.
