Setting Time from GNOME [Solved]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to reset the clock on gnome.  On KDE, right-mouse gives me a context menu that will allow me to set it, resync with public server and so forth.

On gnome, the help system says that the context menu should be there on right mouse, but I can't see it.

Is there a better way with gnome?

Thx in advance.

Re: Setting Time from GNOME [Solved]

use ntpdate to perform such task, i don't think gnome has such option,

pacman -S ntp
edit /etc/conf.d/ntp-client.conf
/etc/rc.d/ntpdate start

It's easier to use openntpd.
Just pacman -S openntpd.
do "ntpd -s" and your synced

edit:
Gnome has such a function, but arch doesn't have an administrator menu in Gnome. So these things are just left out.
