Different systems vary, but one of the standard ways of setting the

setting the _system_ time zone as opposed to the individual user's time
zone, this copying to /etc/localtime is to be expected - it will be done
by the standard process which KDE uses to set the system time zone. If
you have previously customised /etc/localtime, your customisation will
therefore be overwritten when KDE sets the system time zone.

That is exaclty what is happening, now I changed the file that KDE
copies to /etc/localtime and it is stable.

What I am looking for is where KDE has the information of which file to
copy for each timezone. KDE's list of timezones is not that one, it has
a icon (flag) comments and a link to the file to copy...

The file zone.tab in the zoneinfo directory contains a list of all the
zoneinfo time zone definition files, including which country they relate to.
KDE presumably uses that information to display flags and comments.
