Indeed, it's quite hard to use KTimeZoneWidget. Not sure what can we
do if anything. Maybe search field + grouping would be a solution?
There are two bug reports:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151636
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123538
Should we wait with implementation of multi time zones then?

Also, could you tell how was it solved in iPhone?
