Don't know. On Intrepid I just added what you'd posted re
/etc/sysconfig/clock (it doesn't exist unless you create it) & your
clock app did work.

Hardy = 8.04
Intrepid = 8.10

As noted in my other post; everything works on hardy without _any_
modifications at all. It is only Intrepid that has the issue (currently)
- I do not have Jaunty (9.04) installed, so the problem may be there as
well.
