Well, it looks like your timezone information might be messed up, you may
need to check and make sure that these files are symbolic links to your
correct time zone, /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime
/usr/etc/localtime, all of these files may or maynot exist just monkey

look either in your system.steprc file or your .steprc file and there
will be a section regarding keyboard shortcuts, and you can just comment
out the Key F5 .... Iconify line.
