Description Delan Azabani 2010-10-15 23:02:26 UTC 
The context menu for the gnome-shell clock applet has only "Preferences", but should have something like "Set the time" for convenience, which should launch time-admin. I have attached a simple patch for this for js/ui/prefs.js.

Previously reported downstream with a debdiff at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/661106

Comment 2 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2010-10-16 08:17:16 UTC 
time-admin isn't shipped by all distributions. Maybe we should port the gnome-panel clock applet parts we need into the Shell's codebase?

Thanks for the patch.

GNOME 3 system settings will have a way to set the date, time, and timezone.  And we'll have a way to launch it form the clock dropdown:

I believe David Zeuthen is working on implementing this mockup.
