This may be somewhat off topic and I don't know the status of it,
but www.freedesktop.org has a D-Bus API called GeoClue that
can get your location via different backends (i.e. GPS or IP address).
One of the proposed uses is for setting the timezone automatically:

Also, we need a timezone map widget like Gnome has had for years:

Can Marble help here??
