Trying to get time synched to the time servers I like and not the ones that KDE 4.1 has determined that I must use.

Tried the System Settings->Date and Time

and then clicking on the Set automatically button. That lets me use the time server doo-hickey to set a server.

Trouble is when I type in the server I want it doesn't stay around. The next time I open the same dialogs, the servers I typed in are gone. Under 3.x I could type in the servers I wanted and they stayed in the list and were used.

Seems like KDE 4.1 has taken a huge step backwards in user configurability.

Is there a configuration file around somewhere that sets the servers to use?

I pray that KDE developers haven't hard coded this stuff. We learned not to do that 3 decades back.

It's doesn't even keep the setting "Set autmatically". So after every reboot it's back to normal... It allways ask's password to change it on runtime, but doesn't remember it further...

Wouldn't say KDE4 is a step back. Partially maybe, but time will solve the problems (and some good devs).

Which version of KDE are you using? I believe some work ( at least for the Administrative privilages component ) was done in KDE 4.4.

I'm using Kde 4.3.2. Nothing from trunk. Nothing selfcompiled.

Looking forward to KDE4.4
