Suddenly, hardware time on my laptop (in the BIOS) has to be set to UTC time for the time in GNOME can be in CDT (US) time.
I don't know how this happened or how to fix it. I don't see how one can set the time zone for the BIOS so it is all very myterious.

Check /etc/sysconfig/clock and see what UTC is set to.

/etc/sysconfig/clock is set to America/Chicago I fixed this by setting the hardware clock to localtime using hwclock command. But I don't know how it got set to UTC in the first place. In was not that way last week.
