May be the update interval for HildonApplicationManager is set strangely? You might also use gconf-editor to look for that setting or the gconftool2 tool in X-Terminal.
Code:
gconftool -s --type int /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval 100000

The clock just gets its info from the cell phone net. I don't have ntpd or anything like that installed because I don't leave the internet connection on most of the time, in order to save battery. I don't even really have a custom script to do this --- I literally just created an empty file called /var/dont_start_suw --- that 30osso_startup_wizard dealie (which is part of the default OS and normally runs the annoying dialogue and mucks up all my settings after I replace the battery) checks if that file is there and doesn't run if it is.

I checked the update interval for HAM as you suggested, and it was set to 1440, which is maybe a little shorter than it should be in these post-Nokia days, but not absurdly short. I tried setting it to 100000 as you suggested, but that didn't matter. I think my money is on actman doing something weird at this point, given the observation I reported in my previous comment.
