Re: How can I change the clock hour?
The easiest way is to use ntpdate (ntp package).

Re: How can I change the clock hour?
I would recommend reading this page in the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTP) if you are looking to sync your computer with an ntp server. OpenNTPD makes it easy to set up ntp; I use it on my Arch install with Gnome.
If you just want to change the hour and have the Clock applet in the Gnome panel, right click on the clock applet and select 'Adjust Date & Time' and follow the instructions.

Re: How can I change the clock hour?
Here is my recommendation "this is what I do"
Set your time zone in /etc/rc.conf
pacman -Sy ntp
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
then add ntp to your rc.conf
once that is in there, every time you start your machine up, your time will be synced with the internet.

Re: How can I change the clock hour?
And if I want to do it manually?

Re: How can I change the clock hour?
Have a look at the man page for the date command ('man date' in a terminal). The simplest format is date MMDDhhmm which sets the month, day, hour and minutes.
It seems Gnome is missing this feature? Or do you have to be logged in as root?

Re: How can I change the clock hour?
You could start with actually setting the correct time and date in BIOS. From there just choose UTC ( remeber to set timezone in rc.conf) or not in clock applet and you are ready to go!

Re: How can I change the clock hour?
I have solved it. I have set incorrectly the timezone 
, but in KDE I could change it manually with a graphical interface, it can be done on gnome?
