Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

I have this problem on both Hardy (at home) and Maverick (at work).

To reproduce:
1) Install Ubuntu and Windows as they are "out of box"
2) Wait until the clock have to be adjusted (I think, you can reset the clock 
rather than travel in time)
3) See the clock automatically adjusted by Ubuntu
4) reboot to Windows

The clock will be off by 1 hour in the other direction.

What I expect: either adjust the clock manually or see it adjusted automatically
What I get: after I verify that the clock is properly automatically adjusted, 
the clock gets adjusted once more, at a date when it is not expected to change.

What can be done is a different question. A trivial solution would be to ask 
the user "sir, may I reset your clock?" or at least tell the user that the 
clock has been adjusted and as if it's ok (with an option to unde the 
adjustment).
A better solution would be to detect that other operating systems tried to 
reset the clock too.
