- as they (should) operate on the same low-level resources
(/bin/date, /sbin/hwclock, /etc/localtime) it shouldn't really matter
much which is used
- the DE specific things should be much more visible than s-c-date (i.e.
directly in the panel vs. some levels deep in the menu), I don't see
much source for confusion there
- AFAIK, none of the tools in the DEs deal with NTP right now (do they
at least honor it being used and then block setting the system clock?),
so I'm not inclined to drop it
