Bug Description

1) Ubuntu 14.04
2) 14.04.3+14.04.20140410-0ubuntu1
3) I should be able to use the GUI "Time & Date Settings" manual option to set the date/time.
4) Changes were just completely ignored

I also had issues changing the date on 12.04, but time seemed to work there.

Step by step:
1. Click on the Clock and go to Time and Date Settings
2. Switch "Set the Time" to manually.
3. Change the date and time and close the window.
4. Click on the Clock and go to Time and Date Settings, see how the time/date is back to where it was before.

Time and date has been changed, but indicator dont update currently. You can check this from terminal. Maybe this bug at indicator-datetime. It's updates after lost current minute. But it behavior is bad.
