Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?
* Do you use the indicator or the applet there? Could you add your .xsession-errors to the bug?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Steps to reproduce:

Right click panel, choose "Add to Panel", add "Clock" to panel, right click on it, choose Preferences, "Time Settings" is greyed out.

I don't know what you mean by indicator or applet, as far as I know the panel indicators are applets as well.

Also, I don't think this bug should be marked as low importance because not being able to adjust the time of your computer sounds rather urgent to me.

And I know you can to it with the command line, but that is not the point.

could you run gnome-settings-daemon and see if that fixes your issues?

Natty alpha 3, logged into Classic Desktop, removed Unity components.

Not using "Indicator Applet Complete" (I don't like it) but the Clock applet instead, combined with "Indicator Applet Session" and "Indicator Applet".

I appreciate your efforts.

setting back to new if someone else wants to investigate why that's not working on your system, does it work with another user?

Is it not just the case of the clock-applet's "Time Settings" still pointing to time-admin (which is now removed from gnome-system-tools) instead of indicator-datetime-preferences ?
