Fedora 16 XFCE - Little annoyance wrt clock

Hi there,

Just updated my system to Fedora 16, XFCE spin. I´m very pleased that it
automagically detected my dual head display and I can move windows around
from one LCD screen to the other seamlessly and without any manual
configuration.

The only problem I had was that the clock/cmos battery in my motherboard
was dead, so the system clock was reversed to 2001 or thereabouts.

I noticed this when I logged into XFCE and the system clock was off-mark,
and by a huge margin (ie it read 19:20 and real time was 02am :)

I right clicked on the time applet expecting to see an option "adjust
system clock" but there was none. Just the normal option to close panels,
screenlets or whatever the little boxes of info are calld in XFCE.

Should "Adjust system clock" be an option of the clock
widget/panel/whatever?
It´d help usablity inmensely, IMHO. Should I fire a request for enhancement?

Thoughts? Comments?
