While I upgraded (tho I'd originally call it a downgrade, and I guess 
those in the thread would agree, thus the whole kde-sunset project, but 
that water is long under the bridge) to kde4 long ago, and kde5/
frameworks is now looming fast in the windshield...

I do still sure miss worldclock/worldwatch.  In addition to the practical 
matter of the graphical global timezone-aware clock it provided I have 
fond memories of watching the day/nite terminator change shape over the 
year, and particularly miss it every equinox as I used to watch the / \ 
shape change to \ / in real-time over that day and the few on either side.

Anyone have any replacement suggestions?  As I write this it occurs to me 
that marble might possibly do that now, and the marble globe wallpaper 
could potentially provide that real-time view without having to have a 
marble window open over equinox, altho from my experience, most of the 
time attempting to actually activate the marble wallpaper ends up 
crashing all of plasma instead, as the various libraries and etc are 
unfortunately seldom all in sync to allow the thing to actually work 
without crashing.  Tho the marble interactive wallpaper is definitely 
awesome when it works. =:^/
