So, as Dapper is on my "experimenting" hard drive, I reinstalled it
using English-United States as the installation language, rather than
English-United Kingdom. The clock was now using the 12Hour system and
12Hour was an item in the clock's preferences menu. I changed the
Time Zone to London and altered the clock to read "our time". It
still showed 12Hour. However, I found that the keyboard was set up as
an American one rather than a British one. Changed the keyboard
layout in the System -> Administration menu, but it didn't change -
the keyboard stayed American.

The keyboard settings affect only the selected application, not the
whole setup (and this happens on Windows too). There is a small checkbox
where you can point that the keyboard layout changes affect all
applications. That should probably solve your problem.

Also, the "Keyboard indicator" applet would show which layout is
selected for the current window.

Please, developers, give us our 12 hour clock back. :-(

Why don't just right click the clock and select "Preferences"?
