OK, this thing allowed me to set time in the desired format. More of that 
I was actually able to make the time being displayed GNOME style I used 
to.

But again all this only after playing with Adjustable Clock Source tab. 
Otherwise right after installed it showed time in 24 hours format as 
well, despite of the fact that system is set to display time in 12 PM/AM 
hours format.

So as a workaround it's doing the job.

However the mystery is still there. The time format in system settings is 
set to 12 hours format but it is not respected by both widgets out of box.

More of that when I hover a cursor over Adjustable Clock the tool-tip is 
still shows time in 24 hours format. 

Oh boy, I've just noticed that Dolphin does not respect the 12 hours 
format either.  So it is not only clock widgets.  It is system wide 
problem.  This is really annoying.
