Both the CK (automatically) and libhpcalcs (if the set time operation is triggered) reset the time to the computer's local time, but maybe you'd want an UI to set the time to another timezone, or even an arbitrary value ?

Yes, I'm suggesting the host software could include the functionality to set a chosen TZ string on the calculator settings, quite separate from syncing the clock (which would need to be corrected to UTC rather than local time for this idea to work). Any host program is likely to have the relevant information to hand, whether Windows or Unix or anything else.

In some respects, I'd expect the exam mode stuff to handle clock syncing across potential multiple TZs if it is ever intended to operate in large geographically dispersed 'classrooms'.
