What I did was (1) open the time and date settings (time-admin), using
the clock applet on the panel, (2) configure my time zone to
Europe/Paris (which is UTC+2), and (3) activated "Keep synchronized with
internet servers", which is the next option in that menu.

Now my clock displays 5:56 pm (and 'date' shows "Sun Oct 21 17:56:57
CEST 2007"), though the current CEST time is 15:56. It should display
3:56 pm.

If I disable the ntp daemon (using either the panel or the /etc/init.d
script), then run 'ntpdate-debian' (which should do the same thing ntpd
does, but just once), the clock is set correctly. I guess I could just
use a cron script to run ntpdate-debian every hour or so, but the bug is
still there.

clock is delayed by a constant amount when ntpd is enabled
