The only kde "calendar" app I have is korganizer, which only has an icon
on the task bar. You'll really have to provide more information.

What version of Mandriva?
What version of kde?
What calendar program?

Hi David,

OK, it is the KDE Clock app. And, the funny text next to the clock is
the time zone (but read on).

If I right click on the clock (on the taskbar) and select "Show time
zone". The default seems to be "Local time zone". That choice gives me
the funny text. If I select "America/New York" which happens to be my
local time zone then the funny text changes to "New York".

The thing is that whatever shows up for "Local time zone" is either dead
wrong or in the wrong language.

My timezone setting is correct at "America/New York".

Thanks for your help,


Frank

Ok. There was a bug in the clock applet, in the initial release of 2008.0,
which stopped it from saving configuration updates properly, resulting in
many clock_panelapplet_$RANDOMSTRING_rc files being created in
~/.kde/share/config

Try removing the clock applet, deleting all of those files, and then re-adding
it, to the taskbar.

That fixed it!

Thanks,
