[Solved] Time zone weirdness

I really don't know under which forum to put this one.

I updated yesterday morning via pacman. Ever since, on every boot when I log in, I get a notification via dunst:

"(A) Time Zone Updated to CST (UTC-06)

Indeed, I check the synlink in etc:

anthony@regina /etc % ls -l localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Feb 18 15:43 localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago

where it should be America/New_York as it has been ever since I installed Arch. I correct the symlink, but upon the next boot I get the notification and the link is changed again.

I can't find anything via search about this.

Any suggestions?

What WM/DE? Some of them have separate settings for this.

Sorry about that. i3

Edit: And you for the kick in the right direction.

I had been using gnome-settings-daemon for some of it's functionality. So, I fixed the link, ran gsd-datetime and viola, my link was overwritten.

Odd that this started recently, but hey breakage is why I stopped using GNOME 3 on the whole
