Some problems under KDE

Hello every one, just installed yesterday

Linux arch 3.2.11-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 15 09:16:03 UTC 2012 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

it runs awesome, even with kde base installed, and I even have effects, nepomuk akonadi and everything I use on my other computer, of course I dont get all effects nor games,

Anyway!!

I just have 3 minor issues, at the moment

Clock: It's not ok, in rc.conf I have UTC, I just reinstalled so is the only OS in the PC, I unselect UTC from kde time module, then select mexico, and it doesn't work, nor the "auto update from internet" one, maybe is somehing in the BIOS

Language: I intalled the correct package for spanish, and yet english and spanish are mixed all over the place, I have spanish as prefered language under kde settings and:

#
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux

LOCALE="es_MX.UTF-8 UTF-8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="no"
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="America/Mexico_City"
KEYMAP="es-cp850.map.gz"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

MODULES=()

UDEV_TIMEOUT=30
USEDMRAID="no"
USEBTRFS="no"
USELVM="no"

HOSTNAME="arch-linux"

DAEMONS=(dbus networkmanager !network !dhcdbd syslog-ng @alsa)

And mouse flickering: When in openbox the mouse works as expected, but under kde it flickers when moving it, I have looked in Gentoo, Arch and all over the place and I still can't figure out why this happens, I don't know wich cursor theme is used as default for openbox, but I cant see it under cursors in kde settings, maybe a gtk cursor works, but how to install one in kde?

Thank you very much!!

Re: Some problems under KDE

The clock issue has fixed itself, but the other ones still elude me, I've just installed arch from net iso + KDE in another partition and it is the same.

Re: Some problems under KDE

Reacting here after reading your other post I can only say that I could answer when I had KDE installed, have tried it, but there is so much buggy behaviour in KDE that this is probably a KDE issue.
Have you tried to ask the question on a KDE specific forum?

You can find out what cursor theme you are using in openbox by using lxappearance; go to tab mouse cursor and there you can see which theme is active atm.
