Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ntp

if you are behind a proxy and choose to automatically configure the time
in the gnome applet :

1) It will not works because NTP assume a direct connection.
2) It will not warn you or tell you that it doesn't work. You will simply 
discover it when you will see a time shift.

When configured with the gnome applet, ntp should automatically acquires
the proxy configuration of Gnome. It should also warn you if it cannot
connect to a ntp server for whatever reason.

** Affects: ntp (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
