/**
 * @brief A timezone selection widget.
 *
 * \b Detail:
 *
 * This class provides for selection of one or more timezones.
 *
 * \b Example:
 *
 * To use the class to implement a system timezone selection feature:
 * \code
 *
 *  // This adds a timezone widget to a dialog.
 *  m_timezones =  new KTimezoneWidget(this, "Timezones");
 *  ...
 * \endcode
 *
 * To use the class to implement a multiple-choice custom timezone selector:
 * \code
 *
 *  m_timezones =  new KTimezoneWidget(this, "Timezones", vcalendarTimezones);
 *  m_timezones->setSelectionModeExt(KListView::Multi);
 *  ...
 * \endcode
 *
 * @author S.R.Haque <srhaque@iee.org>
 * @since 3.5
