We had a discussion about this on the SuSE English list for two days 
over the weekend.  Someone was going on about the fact that part of 
the /etc/sysconfig/clock file was missing.  Mine now reads as ... 
SuSE 8.1 ....

#
# Set to "-u" if your system clock is set to UTC, and to "--localtime"
# if your clock runs that way.
#
HWCLOCK="--localtime"

#
# Timezone (e.g. CET)
# (this will set /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime)
#
HWCLOCK="-u"
TIMEZONE="Europe/London"
DEFAULT_TIMEZONE="Europe/London"


and then open up the KDE control centre and set the local time as 
Europe/London and the time on your watch/clock next to you.  This 
isn't trivial and I wouldn't expect someone to know about this.  I 
got it from more than one developer.
