Public bug reported:

When I travel, I often find myself changing by Ubuntu laptop's timezone,
so that it displays the local time. The clock's menu configuration
already has the ability to show the "Time in auto-detected location,"
but there is no way to display that in the indicator (without clicking
on it to display the menu.)  It would be nice if there were a way to
either:

a) change the system's timezone based on the computer's location (as if
I went in and changed it manually myself, which I often do when I
travel,) or

b) have the option to display the time of the auto-detected location
alongside the system's time in the indicator.
