How do I enable week numbers in calendar applet when settings are missing?

Question

I really want the time/date indicator applet to show me week numbers on the monthly view, and found this answer on how to enable: ubuntu application to show calendar with week numbers

However, my settings does not look like this, just a stripped down version without tabs, why? Is there a config file somewhere I can set this?

Settings screenshot:

+1 because I am trying to accomplish the exact opposite. I have week numbers showing, but I want to get rid of them. Hopefully, an answer will show how to toggler for either preference. — Questioner, Aug 31, 2012 at 7:27
I added a bug report linking to this question: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/… — mmalmeida, Jan 28, 2013 at 9:07
Please see this link:askubuntu.com/questions/129985/… It works with classic-gnome on 12.04. — user1333445, Apr 16, 2013 at 8:37

You may need to update the gnome-control-center to get the rest of the features working.

Edit: After googling, found that this is a bug. The fix says you need to update.

That bug was marked as closed in April, but the option as described in the question is still not available as of the latest version of gnome-control-center: 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu0.4. At least, I can't see it, and I have all the latest packages as far as I know.

On 12.04 after moving from unity to gnome-shell (looks like your screenshot), I had to

   gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-week-numbers true

to have weeknumbers in the calendar notification applet.
