I just (yeah took me that long :P) noticed that KDE does not sync the 
clock at all after I changed that setting.  It only does that when you 
enable the checkbox and click "Apply" or "OK".  After that, it will 
never connect to the time server again to sync the clock.

So back to the original question; What do I need to do?
