If that is a global change, and not how time is displayed on this
specific desktop, that this is bad enough.
It isn't. It affects the displayed time on the desktop. The system's
view of the timezone does not change.
Most timestamps in
system logs are in local time with no zone indication. Besides not
much prevents you to login into a different type of a sessions and I
asked this: if you can modify clocks as you please then do you think
that this is insignificant, minor hiccup or really bad. I am still
interested in answers.
AFAIK you can only change the system timezone via the root password.
Again, this is KDE. I've no idea what Gnome does. Obviously if it allows
a change like this without authentication then it's broken, but of
course it wouldn't be able to do it if the system didn't let it.
