(Get the code!)
The problem, as an average user, is the following :
"My GNOME clock is out of sync altough it is marked as using NTP and all seems to be working fine because no error is displayed"
Because I'm not completely an average user, I can guess that the problem is that I'm behind a web proxy. So, I see two ways of solving this bug :
1) Making NTP capable of using a web proxy + use of the gnome configurer proxy.
2) When NTP is not working (for whatever reason), have some feedback that tells you that NTP is not working.
For information, the same laptop use NTP with Windows XP and it works. Because the hardware clock is buggy (approximately 15minutes out of sync every day), I have to reboot under Windows only to adjust the clock !
Does it explain you better the problem ?
