With your plasmoid being a KDE application 

http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-
apidocs/kdecore/html/classKSystemTimeZone.html

is your most obvious friend! So I'd suggest that you just go for 
KSystemTimeZone.

That's something that will change once we put the render plugin loading and 
initialization into threads. 

Patrick: Do you think we'll be able to improve on that for Marble 0.7 already?

No, I think you are on the right track.
