Please note that this is a VMware Fusion VM.  ntp is not installed, but if you
go to System Settings -> Time & Date, you will see that "Set the time" is set
to "Automatically from the Internet".  Shouldn't this be enough to have time
catch up after resume from VM suspend?  If not, and ntp is actually required
(as was the case way back when), then I rather think that the System Setting
is misleading.  I can handle installing and running ntp, as I used to do, but
I think this is a regression (hard for me to remember exactly).

So, if ntp is required not installed, what effect does the Time & Date dialog
actually have, other than dimming the Time and Date widgets?
