daylight savings time issues?

[Matt Price]

hi,

i'm having a little unexpected trouble with the new DST on my
ubuntu-feisty laptop.  when i woke up Sunday mroning, the laptop had not
switched to DST, so I ram 
sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
which reset me to the proper time.  however, shortly thereafter when i
checked the clock -- probably about an hour or so later though I can't
be sure -- the time had reverted back to standard time.  my zone
information is up to date, at least i think it is:

~$ zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern | grep 2007 
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern  Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun
Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern  Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun
Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern  Sun Nov  4 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun
Nov  4 01:59:59 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern  Sun Nov  4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun
Nov  4 01:00:00 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000

nonetheless every time i reboot or resume from suspend, my clock is set
wrong, and i have to run ntpdate.  
The only other piece of information i have is that the gnome time-admin
applet can't seem to tset the time right, even though ntpdate does,
making me wondering if there's something messed up in gnome somewhere.  

so, any hints?

thanks,
matt
