On Mac OS X v10.3 (don't know about earlier versions),
@"AppleDatePreferencesChangedNotification" and
@"AppleTimePreferencesChangedNotification" are sent to the default
distributed notification center when these preferences are changed by
System Preferences. This is undocumented, though, so use at your own
risk.
