<a href="mailto:robertknight@gmail.com">robertknight@gmail.com</a>><br><br>Hi,<br><br>Something that strike me on my recent travel to Boston - finding the<br>appropriate time zone in an unfamiliar city is not very easy in KDE 3.
<br> Is it possible to determine this information using an available<br>internet connection (in a hotel or conference venue for example)?<br><br>Regards,<br>Robert.</blockquote><div><br><br>This may be somewhat off topic and I don't know the status of it,
<br>but <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org">www.freedesktop.org</a> has a D-Bus API called GeoClue that<br>can get your location via different backends (i.e. GPS or IP address).<br>One of the proposed uses is for setting the timezone automatically:
