Not sure if this is easily feasible to fix.
Comment 2 Fushan Wen 2022-11-04 23:52:49 UTC 
Not very fixable because ClockSkewNotifier is still in KWin and not upstreamed.
Comment 3 mjwany48 2022-11-05 21:36:33 UTC 
Is there any situation where this time parameter is actually used?
Its not a very important setting I'd say, so why not just remove it since it doesn't work anyways?
