Thanks for the tip!

However, I cannot get this notification to fire on system time changes. My
other notifications (such as sleep wake, etc) do fire.

    [[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] notificationCenter] addObserver: self
            selector: @selector(systemTimeChanged:)
            name: NSSystemClockDidChangeNotification object: NULL];


-(void) systemTimeChanged: (NSNotification *) notification
{
    NSLog(@"-systemTimeChanged: %@", [notification name]);
}
