I think that's because Windows sets the time to local and Unix systems
set the time to UTC/GMT which is 5 hours earlier than UTC.

LXDE is not GNOME 3 based but I think it uses some GTK3 now. If you
don't want GNOME 3 at all, you shouldn't be using Oneiric or Precise.
It's probably a bad idea to try to remove GNOME pieces from any Ubuntu
variation except for Kubuntu.

Not to be rude, but why are you running an operating system that is
still in alpha? I think you'd be happier with a stable release like
Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid" or 11.10 "Oneiric".
