      <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>
     </listitem>-->
     <listitem>
      <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.
