Same symptoms observed with the following system in both "Live CD" and "installed" modes:

Xubuntu 8.04
Processor = AMD-K6 500MHz
RAM = 311MB

Note that, although the GUI keeps looping around the "NTP support is not installed" dialog, in my case NTP is actually installed on the first run. Terminal output is as follows:

roger@zydec:~$ time-admin
(time-admin:6568): Gtk-WARNING **: Unsupported tag for GtkWidget: atkproperty
(time-admin:6568): Gtk-WARNING **: Unsupported tag for GtkWidget: atkproperty
(time-admin:6568): Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown property: GtkCalendar.display-options
roger@zydec:~$

After running time-admin from the terminal a couple more times the GUI finally accepts the settings and allows servers to be selected. However, running the same app from the Xubuntu menu (Applications, System, Time and Date) still sometimes fails to show the selected settings!

The same Live CD Time and Date GUI does work correctly (first time!) when running on a 1GHz Celeron CPU with only 256MB of RAM, suggesting that this problem may be limited to slow and/or old processors.
