I just ported kcontrol's clock to the new API. See revision 432367 with the
change log attached below. Bug reports welcome.
Thanks, Shaheed
== change log ===========
Port to new KTimezones API. I have tried to preserve and merge the Solaris/BSD
support into KTimezones...tests on those platforms are welcome.
FWIW, I am concerned that the existing logic for setting the system timezone
does not work in a sufficiently platform sensitive manner (e.g. it creates
a /etc/timezone system on Linux, which is not used by glibc AFAICS). But, I
did not feel confident to change that.
The only functional change is in the display of the current timezone: this now
has the real name of the current timezone, as well as the abbreviated name
from before.
