I asked this before without any response (smile). |

Kworldclock 3.5.10 is a useful little app, but is absent from 4.3.1 . |
| 4 |
I've found 2 versions of the problem : |
| 5 |
KDE bug 184088 , which suggests the problem is Gentoo packaging ; |
| 6 |
Gentoo forum |

|
| 10 |
which refers to Gentoo bug 280834 . |
| 11 |
A bug search of Gentoo for 'kworldclock' yields 'zarro'. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Bug 280834 solves the poster's problem (how to add it to the KDE desktop), |
| 14 |
but implies that that is how you have to use it in KDE 4 , |
| 15 |
ie there is no equivalent of running 'kworldclock' in KDE 3 . |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
As I don't (want to) use the KDE 4 desktop (I use Fluxbox instead), |
| 18 |
this suggests I'm stuck with keeping the KDE 3 version around, |
| 19 |
if I want a quick + simple way of seeing how the planet is lit up |
| 20 |
& -- much more important -- finding local time for major cities |
| 21 |
(I used it recently when needing to phone someone in New Zealand). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Is it possible to get Marble to show the effects of Kworldclock ? |
| 24 |
Is there any other similar app from outside KDE ? |
| 25 |
-- Xearth shows light/dark, but not current local times AFAIK. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I plan to file bugs with KDE + Gentoo, |
| 28 |
but want to be sure of the situation before doing so. |
