I wonder if it really needed in Locale. One is more likely to look in Deskbar which shows a clock to change your time format then Locale I'd think. Also, even English speakers use 24 hour clocks, especially those in the military. They might not think to look in Locale, but perhaps they would look in Deskbar, or Time preferences. I don't see why it is an issue having the setting in both places.
Having a setting in Deskbar that actually changes something system-wide is heavily confusing. I could see it moved to time preferences, however, but I think the Locake prefs is a better place, because it goes with all other format settings.
Note this is also how it works on most others OS: http://www.guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/international http://www.guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/timedateThe only exception is Mac OS classic, OSX moved on to match what others do, and added an (ugly) button to jump from time to international preflet. I'd rather avoid such button, in Windows they do it all the time and it gets messy.
