Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

(This bug report arises from Ubuntu Question 75465 : 
 https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xclock/+question/75465  )

This bug dates to at least 2006. Basically, running "xclock -digital"
should give you a small window with a digital clock. Adding the option
"-twentyfour" is supposed to force the clock to display the time in
24-hour format. Similarly, the option "-twelve" is supposed to force the
clock to display the time in 12-hour format.

What actually happens is that xclock's digital output will be the same
regardless of the -twelve or -twentyfour flag passed. For me and the
original poster of Question 75465, the time is always displayed in
twelve-hour format. There is an ancient debian bug about the same
problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=352967

I'm experiencing this issue on Intrepid. I am using version
1:7.4~5ubuntu3 of the 'xorg' package. Running Xorg -version says:
