Has this changed since Fedora 9?

The usually hidden "set" button has nothing to do with the weather, but
is a way to change the computer's timezone.  e.g. If you have Sydney,
London and New York set up, you see the time and a weather icon for each
of them, and you can change your computer to using their time zones with
a click on the appearing set button (and a root authorisation).  By
default, the weather you see is just an icon, but hovering over the
weather icon pops up weather details.
