Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
When I check "Set date and time automatically" in systemsettings, that will set the time and date that one time, but the next time I open systemsettings, the option is always unchecked again.
Is this thing supposed to adjust date&time automatically in regular intervals? With ntpd?
If it's not, the labeling and the interface with the checkbox is misleading and should be changed (like from a checkbox to a button). That would make it more clear that what you're doing is a one-time synchronization, not setting the system up to undergo regular synchronization with a time server.

This behaviour also surprised me. Kubuntu Jaunty i386.
