Description
When selecting the timezone manually in the date/time configuration app, it's very difficult, slow, error prone and annoying to select your location from the list of hundreds of location. The buttons are very large and thus you have to scroll a long long time to reach Europe (how many SHR users live in Africa?), and the scrollbar doesn't seem to be possible to use, I've tried to drag it literally hundreds of times, but it's probably too small.
An improvement would be to use a hierarchical method where you first pick the region and then the city.

Yeah, I know it's quite hard to use it now, but that's better than nothing till I have time to improve it :P
My first idea was using an elementary List with an index, so it could be really fast to choose the desired timezone. But when implementing it, I had problems with the elm list and finally I used a box full of buttons.
I'll have a look when I have some free time.
