Hi,

I'm in process of fixing up KPIM::KTimeEdit which is the widget used for 
time entry in several pim applications (looks like a combobox which pops up 
a list of times to choose from when clicked). KTimeEdit comes with a 
QValidator that needs some love but in order to fix it I'd like some input.

Currently the only KDE widget I could find for entering times is part of 
KDateTimeWidget. It internally uses QTimeEdit and is locale-unaware. Now I 
was wondering if users expect such a widget to be aware of their locale. So, 
all you people who are not using the default %H:%M 24h format, how do you 
expect to enter times? Write "5:30pm", write "5:30" and choose pm in a 
combobox or do you consider it more convenient to just type "17:30"?

Thanks,
Michael
