For my part, I think it's a bug for a very simple reason - there's nothing
about the label on this button that implies that the settings will
immediately take effect based on the contents of the current window.
Indeed, the label I see is "Set System Time...", with trailing ellipsis
which to me *explicitly* suggests that clicking the button will open a new
dialog. I think there's insufficient indication here that clicking the
button will cause the currently-displayed settings to take effect.
