system-config-date to set the timezone and choose whether the clock updates by 
ntp.  The checkbox for 'System Clock uses UTC' is probably checked for you.  If 
you toggle back and forth between Windows and Linux this will cause you that 
kind of grief.

You can set a registry key in windows that sets it to use universal time as well 
for the hardware clock, then you don't get that constant fight between them.

If you're not using windows, then it might be a problem with the hardware clock 
getting set at all when ntp changes your time, or perhaps you've got a dead 
battery?  Does the date stay correct?

Yes, I love that, very nicely done applet now.
