This may be a dumb idea, but could we change to zone.tab file in \
/usr/share/apps/kworldclock to a slightly different format? One like this

# Formal Name    Country    Province    Coordinates
Saint Louis      US         Missouri    +383738-0901152

Then using the coordinates kworldclock could deduce the timezone for that area, then \
with that knowledge determine the time.

The upshot to this change would be that we wouldn't be reliant on what is already in \
/usr/share/zoneinfo, so users could add any location as long as the coordinates are \
known.

Like I said, this idea may be dumb or just naive. So ignore me if it is.
