F18, KDE 4.9.5
When I try to set my timezone using the KDE settings widget, I get an error popup:
Error setting new time zone.
Note that the widget doesn't ask for any authentication.
Any thoughts?

Likely selinux getting in the way, see also,

Perhaps, but the suggested fix (update to selinux-policy) had no effect.

If it's what I encountered, then, yes :-) The KDE systemsettings set time thingy does not work. You have to set the time using (as root):
timedatectl set-timezone "America/Edmonton"
Chose your time zone. This will create a link in /etc/localtime.
If you try to set it in KDE, this link will be deleted and you do not want that.
You probably also want to use NTP, so:
timedatectl set-ntp 1
It helps to read the release notes ;-)
