Ubuntu 8.10
gnome-applets 2.24.1-0ubuntu1

It seems that not all the cities listed comes with a timezone attached with it. Some cities such as Paris and New York work fine, they have a timezone attached to them, other cities do not have timezones need to be fixed. Some examples of these are:

Arviat, Nunavut
Yellowknife, NWT
Montreal, Quebec
Radisson, Quebec
Oral, Kazakhstan
Shymkent, Kazakhstan
Qyzylorda, Kazakhstan
Burwash Landing, Yukon

These are a few that I found but there are most likely many more. I think it would be wise to have all of the cities auto-complete this field so that the following does not reproduce itself. It give the impression that the applet is broken when in fact the user has no idea that the timezone field is required to add the entry to the list.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Click on the clock panel
2) Beside "Locations" select "Edit"
3) This will open a new window - In the "Locations" tab click "+ Add"
4) Put the name of any of the cities mentioned above
5) Press OK

What happens:
The city is not added.

What is expected:
Either every city should automatically be associated with a Timezone or if this is not technically possible for some reason, prompt the user to input the missing mandatory field.
