This patch allows you to switch the timezone by clicking on your desired one in the
applet's expanded representation. This is much simpler than the mouse-wheel-based UI and
does not need a config setting to turn it on or off.

Be careful about mixing terms here.
This absolutely does not change "the timezone". This changes what the applet shows. It is super super important that if a user travels to another country even for a vacation they update the system timezone.
The reason this had a configuration option was because we need people to not use the wrong thing. The applet's timezone purpose is so you can show a clock of what time it is for your European colleagues or whatever.

Hmm, that's a good point. I hadn't realized that. Would it make sense for changing the timezone in the applet to actually change the whole system timezone too, rather than just the display in the applet? Is that something we can do?
