Public bug reported: When I travel, I often find myself changing by Ubuntu laptop's timezone, so that it displays the local time. The clock's menu configuration already has the ability to show the "Time in auto-detected location," but there is no way to display that in the indicator (without clicking on it to display the menu.) It would be nice if there were a way to either:
a) change the system's timezone based on the computer's location (as if I went in and changed it manually myself, which I often do when I travel,) or b) have the option to display the time of the auto-detected location alongside the system's time in the indicator.
