I read the comments on the duplicate of this bug, and I'm disappointed that the 
developers decided to remove functionality from the applet's settings. Frankly, 
the new time-setting tool accessible from the panel applet is badly designed 
and limited in functionality. I much prefer the looks and capabilities of 
time-admin, and I'm disappointed that it's been moved from the obvious location 
of the clock's context-menu to the Admin menu. Most computers are connected to 
the Internet, and thus would benefit from receiving the time automatically from 
an NTP server, but this functionality is now harder to find. In addition, 
changing the timezone is now more difficult.
Why has the functionality been duplicated? It would make more sense to just get 
rid of the new tool and simply use the older, better one, rather than giving 
preferential placement to the new, inferior one.

[Hardy] The clock applet no longer uses the more powerful time-admin to change 
the time
