i prefer this method as then one does not need to think "which configuration do 
i need?" because all the config is in the same place.

i've noticed a few times that the separate entry in the clock trips up some 
people: they don't know whether to select that to set the time shown in the 
clock, or if choosing that entry would set the system time.
