Description Andreas Nilsson 2009-01-09 12:09:51 UTC 
I intended to change the time-zone today, but got a little confused by the preferences window. There was a entry and next to it was a big, blue blob. After staring at it for a while, I realized it was supposed to be a map with a pin next to it, so I clicked it.
Perhaps it would be a bit clearer if there was a text saying "Select..." instead of the icon. It eats up a couple of more pixels, but it's a lot easier to understand.

If I open the glade file calendar/gui/dialogs/cal-prefs-dialog.glade, it says the function is called make_timezone_entry, but I'm not sure how to create a patch.

I like it better too.

This also changes the appointment editor.  Make sure View -> Time Zone is checked to see it.

Good way to procrastinate what I'm -really- supposed to be doing.  ;)
