I can confirm this behaviour - changing the time server in time-admin
correctly updates /etc/ntp.conf, but the NTP service is not restarted.
The NTP service doesn't use the new server until it is restarted.
For completeness, steps to reproduce:
1) In a terminal, type 'ntpq -p' and note the server being used
2) Do a cat /etc/ntp.conf in the terminal and note the server being used
3) Open time-admin, unlock, click 'Select Servers', and then change the server
you wish to use.
4) Do cat /etc/ntp.conf again, comparing the result to that obtained in step
2). Note that the server is updated correctly.
5) Do 'ntpq -p' again, comparing the result to that obtained in step 1). Note
that the old server is still being used.
6) Do /etc/init.d/ntp restart
7) Compare the output of 'ntpq -p' to that obtained in step 5). Note that the
new server is now being used.
