+ <title>Known Bugs and Limitations</title>
+ <para>
+ You can't change the time through the clock properties. This
+ is not really a bug; it's because you must be root to alter
+ the time for the whole of the system, using the <command>
+ date</command> command.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If you adjust the system clock backwards using the <command>
+ date</command> command, the clock will stop working until the
+ system time reaches the time the clock displays. It will start
+ working normally then.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Switching between a lot of themes or a lot of timezones seems
+ to use up inordinate amounts of memory.
