Sure. Nobody's done the UI work for that, Sugar-side.

 - In all builds, hwclock is available from cli
 - On 11.3.x  and earler builds you can install the appropriate gnome
control panel.
 - On 12.x.y builds, gnome control panels aren't so easy to make work,
'cause they need clutter.

Also, we should run ntp by default, or at least ntpdate on an NM hook.

cheers,
