I have another case where a "synchronize now" button should be available:
When running Ubuntu in VMWare, suspending the VMWare session and then resuming it at a later time, the clock is stuck at the time you suspended it. So even though I'm using ntpd to keep the clock in synch, I also want to be able to synchronize it "now" rather than waiting a few years for ntpd to catch up. I'm guessing this is a problem for most suspend solutions.
