Bug Description
Time is currently Sun Mar 18 01:46 PM EST 2006. However the computer clock shows time as being Sat Mar 18 02:50:26 EST 2006.
This is way more than a mere daylight-savings glitch.
I had not rebooted for several days, but yesterday I did so and this behaviour began.
Changing time/date via the applet is not permanent, as it reverts to GMT at reboot. The system acknowledges the correct timezone (for me, Australia/Sydney), however it seems that data for said timezone has been wrongly changed or corrupted. Sychronising with the internet server does not do anything to help.

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Could you copy to a comment:
- cat /etc/timezone
- date
before and after running the application?
Do you have ntpdate running at boot?
