@Michael Rooney: 
cat /etc/issue: Ubuntu 9.04
uname -a: Linux ilius507 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 
UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

On Ubuntu 9.04 I no longer have an error message, but when clicking "Set
system time" the dialog box simply disappears. Perhaps this is the
normal behaviour ? If it is, I'd prefer having a message stating that
the system clock was successfully updated instead.

When performing this operation, tail -f /var/log/syslog yields:
May 14 08:59:22 ilius507 kernel: [48981.021157] /dev/vmmon[5402]: 
HostIF_ReadUptime: detected settimeofday: fixed uptimeBase old 
18445501838311214264 new 18445501838313488022 attempts 1

I suppose this means the operation was successful ? Again, as a user I'd
like to be informed of the outcome of my action: did it succeed or fail
and if it failed, have an error message.

Thanks,
Steven
