Allow the option to enable seconds in the clock on the panel

Please implement the title. It would be very useful for for and I'm guessing for others too

You can enable this option on the gnome config tool. In the menu is labeled as advanced settings, there on GNOME-SHELL, you have an option to enable it.

On GNOME 2, XFCE and LXDE you can do this by right-click the clock and adding seconds.

Neither technique seems to work in Cinnamon. Is there another way for that desktop?

Open dconf editer. Goto org--> cinnamon--> clock. Check the box for "show-seconds"
I tried it and it works on mine
