KDE3, SuSE8 and 24 hour clock?

I had a nice 12 hour am/pm clock since I installed SuSE8 about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I did a YOU update and kde3base was in that update. Not only did I lose all the SuSE colors on my title bars after the update but now my clock refuses to use the am/pm format. Now this is only in KDE. Blackbox and Gnome are just happy to show me the 12 am/pm clock. So what is up with KDE3?
