Binary package hint: gnome

First left clicking on the clock provides no apparent method for
changing the time. You must first click "Edit" next to Locations then
"Time Settings". When adjusting my date, I am not looking for location
information, but time information!

Second, right clicking adjust date & time, or left clicking "Time
Settings" and changing the time only lasts for the session. As soon as
you reboot, the time setting goes back to the old time zone data. The
only way to actually fix the hour is to follow these directions:

Try to change your timezone using the command line:
1. Open a terminal window by going to Applications => Accessories => Terminal
2. dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
3. Follow the directions in the terminal.

The GUI should provide the ability to change your timezone, or better
still, just adjust your time. The user should not have to think about
timezones to adjust his clock. Moreover, when adjusting timezones you
can't give the CLI tool your timezone, your first to pick a city in your
timezone from an alphabetical list. All I wanted to do was correct my
system time, yet I ended up on Google Maps to try and figure out which
city was in my timezone.
