It could be a few things, I expect Windows is finding with Linux about
the date of the system clock. One wants UTC the other doesn't, but you
said you tried that.

A while back there was a bug in the gnome applet for displaying the time
that would ignore the timezone - what does "date" from a console say?
Does it agree with the applet?

Perhaps your Linux box is even syncing with a bad time server, but I
doubt it.
