    Not generic enough, is Unix specific.  Perhaps timeZoneDatabaseUpdated() without the file path?



ktimezoned/org.kde.KTimeZoned.xml

    You need to keep this, or a variant of it.


I don't think this is generic enough, it only applies to the zonetab file on Unix, and the data files could be updated without the zonetab being changed, and it doesn't apply to Windows at all.  I'd suggest a generic timeZoneDatabaseUpdated() signal instead that triggers on Unix if any file in the zone path tree (/usr/share/zoneinfo or wherever) is updated, or for Windows if any of the registry database is updated (I can do that later).

It also doesn't need to parse the timezone files itself or watch for their changes as QTimeZone objects are not stored.

Fedora or Suse, but also by Debian in conjunction with /etc/timezone) for changes and if it detects a change, it checks if the new timezone is really different and if it is, it sends out a DBus signal "timeZoneChange". I changed it from "configChanged" as I think "timeZoneChanged" makes way more sense.
