I'm a bit late into the conversation.  How would this work?

1. Clock listens for "network went up/down"

2. When the network goes up, the clock asks NM for "gimme the DHCP data"

3. Clock sets the timezone.

What happens if you don't have a clock applet? :)

Should NM just have a magic script to set the timezone?
