speaking of unexpected scrolling... while I loved the scrollwheel-timezones 
feature in kde3, it's pissing me off in kde4. several times now I've 
accidentally scrolled into the next timezone, and not noticed for a few 
hours that my clock is suddenly an hour fast.

I think the key is that in kde3, if it was showing a timezone that wasn't my 
own it would show the name of the timezone, which would also make the 
clock numbers a little smaller - several little cues that something had 
changed and I should look closely instead of just glancing at the numbers. 
:) now it only changes the numbers, and I don't see the change at all.
obviously I don't want the text "Local" wasting space in my panel all the 
time (oh god, the clock is giving equal weight to both that string and the 
actual time); I just want the timezone to show when it's not *my* 
timezone.

the easiest way I can think of to make this behave sensibly is to make the 
clock never show the timezone if it's "Local", and then turn on the "show 
timezone" option. I hope nobody is obsessively attached to that "Local" 
text...

and... hey! what happened to the tooltip showing all the timezones I had 
selected? now the only way to know what timezones I've got is to 
scrollwheel through each and wiggle my mouse to re-show the tooltip?
