The Date & Time-setting app in the Gnome settings actually changes the date/time each time a widget is changed.  This can result in dozens of date/time changes whipsawing between past & future and creating absolute chaos with scheduled tasks.  The most recent case of this resulted in the loss of some important log info, perhaps because logrotate was so thoroughly confused. Angry

This app should generate one date/time change and only after the user says "okay, that's it".
