I seem to recall that somebody on this forum posted about a similar application to KWorldClock* which worked under XFCE but, sadly, I don't recall the name and my searching ability escapes me. Does anyone know of something like this?
I'm on Debian Sid with XFCE but I don't mind if it has a truck load of dependencies and I can handle compiling if I need to. Anything that is either a 3D globe or can run as a desktop background would be even better.
OK, so I know all the above is pushing my luck but I thought it worth asking.


*For those who haven't used it it was a Mercator-projection map of the world with major cities highlighted with the city of your choice centred and a moving shadow showing the progress of the sun. Cities could be hovered over to see the local time.

KWorldClock appears to be defunct. It was part of KDEtoys, and is no longer listed at their website.

Sadly it has been for years -- I used to use it as a desktop background then KDE "went through the change" and couldn't do that and that applications died off.
Somebody did post about a similar application recently but I didn't manage to make a note before I was distracted and now I can't find it.
I used to find it pleasing, somehow, and helpful when I was chatting to people online.

Drat. Sorry I wasn't helpful in any way whatsoever.

Not to worry, it's not a common type of request here.
[Perhaps I ought to mention that I'm running a Red Hat 4.0 in a VM on a Kali 2.0 install and can't get it working?]***
