I have this problem too. The workaround from John didn't fix it. I have Indicator Applet Complete 0.5.0 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
I have selected Finnish regional settings in System Settings > Language Support > Regional Formats. Finland uses 24 hour clock, and the clock in that dialog windows is displayed correctly. System Settings > Date and Time has "24-hour" selected correctly. If a remove the indicator applet and add it using Winkey-Alt-Rightclick > Add to Panel > Indicator Applet Complete, the time is still displayed incorrectly. If I add the Clock applet, it displays the time incorrectly, but I can change it from Rightclick > Preferences > 24 hour format. Locale commands says I have en_US.UTF-8 locale selected, but I don't know what else I can do to change it, since I don't have root access. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/964492 Title: Cannot change clock to 24hs format in Gnome classic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-datetime/+bug/964492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
