I doubt I want to force to use the one of the cet locals to get the timezone in Prague. I think we misunderstand eachother. I am in no doubt that people travel all the time, and changing timezone is an issue here. I was not addressing that, but addressing that "locales also are not strictly defined by country borders which means the timezone spans are even higher". I doubt that this is a big problem, but would like to hear where there are problems with this. Travelling - I think this is a well known issue, and already solved. At least I travel a lot, and I am happy that in my kde interface I can just click on the time displayed in my bottom panel, and change the time displayed to the one that I need. Where do you foresee problems with the timezone category on this? My take is that it does not change anything here. Best regards Keld
