Seems more like the X login has an idle timer that logs users out if they've been inactive for a specified time. Changing the time can trigger that.

Maybe you could just change the time zone $TZ to get your different dates?

@MadeinGermany - there have been no updates to this version since 1994.

@Dannychan - "date -t" only sets the system clock.
Code:
#date -t  CCYYMMDDhhmm.ss; setclk -r

Sets the system date, and updates the CMOS .
It is highly unlikely that your application will not run on version 5.0.7 or 6.0.0
