That's pretty damn cool, I never noticed that before, but of course you can 
change it in the menu. If you're an international traveller, that's exactly 
what you need. Integration with World Clock, and possibly KOrganiser and 
Kontact, in some way would be pretty interesting... I love World Clock, and 
I've used it a few times when travelling or when people have been abroad.

World Clock - along with KDict another KDE gem :).

Well, no. It is quite a cool, and a potentially useful feature. The fact that 
under the clock it says Sydney, New York, Moscow or Los Angeles should give 
you a handy hint as to what has happened.

I agree that it could be handled better though, as it could apparently change 
at random if you have a touchpad or something. That may be a good idea, or 
the functionality can be kept but perhaps displayed differently.

Cheers,
