Solved. Thanks for the input.

tzconfig did the trick, after a little research.

When I first searched the ubuntu forum for various flavors of setting
the time, I found nothing, and no one responded to my problem. When I
searched with tzconfig as a search argument, I found several reported
problems with no direct answer.

The recommendation was to do some apt-get operation that is not
correct (apt-get --configure -a, not a valid command) followed by
apt-get dist-upgrade. I did the latter, and a lot more packages came
in.

Perhaps someone could tell me a little more about dist-upgrade, since
I've never done anything but 1) install 2) apt-get update 3) apt-get
upgrade then repeat 2) and 3) ad infinitum.

Anyway, tzconfig now works.

Interestingly enough, the time zone is still US/Mountain (as before),
but now date and KDE report MST.
