Oops, it looks as though opening the Gnome Adjust Time and Date Dialog
by itself will delay the clock by a second, which is why I still seemed
to be loosing time. (Schroedinger's cat anyone?). Since having
replaced my power supply, my clock no longer looses time on it's own
overnight, (and a hard drive that was always doing some kind of re-sync
grind, which I used to assume was thermal calibration, is no longer
making those strange noises.)

Thank you Albert and David for your perfect diagnosis on limited
information :)
