Hi Mike,

I just checked out the eclipse script.  Nicely done!  I noticed a few things:

+ The DCOP function "setLocalTime" appears to set UT rather than local time.
+ Using writeConfig/readConfig to reset the user's config does not rest the 
date/time or the geographic location.

I'll try to fix these.

Also, why do you choose to show the Eclipse from Hilo, HI ?  The eclipse 
happens at midnight there.  You may want to add a note at kde-files.org that 
after downloading the file, it must be made executable ("chmod +x 
eclipse_2006.kstars") before KStars will run it.  KStars should also show an 
error messagebox when a non-executable script is encountered. 

thanks,
Jason
