Did not work.

I ran this from a terminal window SUed as root.
I then locked the system and it still showed the weekday.
So I tried restarting gnome, <alt-F2>r and locked the system, but the 
system locked up!  I had to switch consoles, login as root and reboot.  
But the reboot hung and I had to power off from the switch and power 
back up.  After all that, the login screen still showed weekday :(  So 
did the lock screen.

Well I had a new kernel to install, and I resist kernel installs until I 
am in a boot situation and willing to reboot after install.  So I 
installed the new kernel, rebooted and still weekday, not date.

Sigh.
