Title:
  In datetime indicator and control-center panel, it could be easier to
  distinguish between locations that share the same name

Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
  Release:	12.04

  2) The version of the package you are using
  $ apt-cache policy indicator-datetime
  indicator-datetime:
    Установлен: 0.3.94-0ubuntu2
    Кандидат:   0.3.94-0ubuntu2
    Таблица версий:
   *** 0.3.94-0ubuntu2 0
          500 http://mirror.yandex.ru/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  4) What happened instead
  "Name of city/town, country" in locations for cities/towns which have duplicate names in different countries.
  It's impossible to understand which country the city/town is in locations drop down menu in notifications area and in the settings of showing locations in time/date settings (when locations is already selected, the only way is: remove all current locations for duplicate cities/towns, reassign location, but you still can't understand which time is showing in drop down menu of datetime indicator in case of cities/towns with duplicate names but in different counties).

  3) What you expected to happen: one of these:
   a) auto detect cities/towns, which has duplicates in different countries, and always showing country for them everywhere.
   b) manual option to show counties for all locations everywhere.
   c) manual option to show country for user selected locations from all locations, which user selected (and always showing countries in settings of setup locations).
