The kde3 laptop does dual-boot with XP, although I rarely use it.  Certainly 
this problem has been with me ever since I installed on it, 6 months ago.  I 
think I have only logged into windows once in the whole of that time, and I 
certainly didn't notice any change then.  I don't think it's XP-related.

'date' and 'hwclock --show' both indicate that all three machines are running

So - is system-clock the same as hwclock?  Or is there a third variable in the 
equation?
