I have strange problem with kworldclock. When it starts I see the same time in the whole world!

Maybe somebodu know what's up?

the same problem here with:
Qt: 3.1.0
KDE: 3.1.0
KDE World Clock: 1.5
probably a bug

I have the same cofiguration.
And another one problem, now with xtraceroute:

Maybe I miss something? It's just after emerging, nothing been changed.

It looks like a kworldclock bug report was submitted here and supposedly fixed. However I've emerged update world a number of times since then and I've still got same problem: identical times all around the world.

Do you think the 1.4 freeze is keeping the fix from reaching portage or something? I gotta admit I'm not too clear about what the "freeze" means. I knew what it meant what I was running the "testing" version of Debian (2.2 -> 3.0), which is why I tried Gentoo!

Does anybody have any newer information? Searching on "kworldclock" doesn't come up with much and this is a very cool app.

TIA,
-Robert

When they say it's fixed, I'm sure they mean in CVS. We won't see the fix until KDE 3.1.1 or whatever the next version is.

It would probably suffice to apply the patch that was provided as a fix. But KDE is so intimidatingly big, where and how would I do that?

Ebrostig, is the 1.4 "freeze" the reason the patch hasn't been made available by default (through emerge --update --deep world) yet?

The freeze only applies to new packages, not to bug fixes for existing ones. Patience, Gentoomen, the patch has only been around for a few days... I've added a bug report to bugs.gentoo.org to speed up things a little.

ebrostig, thanks a lot, I'm glad I don't have to re-emerge all of KDE for that...

Gee, I completely forgot about this thread! Yeah, it works, might as well document the method for latecomers. Thanks again to ebrostig for setting me on the right track. Here are his steps with the real package names filled in:
