<!-- ============= Bugs ================================== -->
<!-- This section should describe known bugs and limitations of
the program if there are any - please be frank and list all
problems you know of -->
<sect3 id="asclock-bugs">
<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.
