This won't work on something like VirtualBox since that date/time are managed through it.

UNTESTED -- To change that, you can disable syncing between the host and guest. See VirtualBox: Disable Virtualbox date/time sync
On Linux, it would be
vboxmanage setextradata <vmname> "VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled" "1"
To re-enable it, apparently you have to edit that VMs configuration XML file to remove the line. Setting it to "0" does not work.

I just use drakclock. Probably the same for Mandriva and PCLinuxOS too. No funny screen blanking etc is done for a simple day date change.
I think it reverted itself, so I'll try a clock --hctosys this time.
