Since the Absolute time is also displayed in the "frame" details, I
would prefer to have it as a seperate option in the "View | Time Display
format" menu. How'bout a selection below the precision where you can
select the following:
* Use Local Timezone
Use UTC Timezone
Use specific Timezone -> GMT-12 (example cities)
GMT-11 (example cities)
...
GMT+11 (example cities)
GMT+12 (example cities)
I'm not sure whether that sort of selection (with a submenu) is
possible within GTK in this context though...
