- Subject: ~/.localtime ?
Currently it's only possible to change the timezone system wide and you
need to be root to do so.
While it's possible to change the timezone for a user with the TZ
variable, this does not have any effect on running programs. What do you
think of adding support for a user specific .localtime file that allows
the user to set his own timezone?
