I know that the timezone dialogue is attempting a point and click
approach to simply the timezone selection.  But, it is actually worse
than the former method of selecting the timezone name from a drop-down
list.  For example, I happen to live in Dallas but I have to select
Chicago (or trial and error several of the others in North America) to
get CST/CDT in North America selected.  I'd guess that people in other
continents have similar issues.

If a point and click method is desired, I'd prefer to see something like
the display at http://www.worldtimezone.com/ i.e. select a timezone band
graphically.  Personally, I'd be just as happy to key in my country and
postal code and let Ubuntu figure my UT displacement using a table.

If someone is trying to also capture what locality people are living in,
we could do that separately from timezone.
