Description of problem: Often when changing the time in redhat-config-date the time isn't updated on the gnome-panel. It fails about every other time. How reproducible: Sometimes (~50%) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right-click clock and select Adjust Date & Time 2. Enter root password 3. Change the time and click Ok If successful, try one more time.
I have seen this behavior too, but I suspect that the problem is not with redhat-config-date. I think you would see the same behavior if you were changing the time from a terminal. It looks like the gnome clock panel applet needs to update itself more often. Changing component to gnome-panel
