Is your requirement   
   1. To display all Dates/Times in the local timezone of the user   
 or   
   2. To capture where people are located (so it can be reported on)   

If it is for #1 (display of Dates/Times) then leaving the timezone empty on 
User Preferences will do that for you (You only need to fill it out of you want 
to override the automatic internal calculations).

Subject: Finding the Local TZ for the User Logged In

I have a request from a customer for the following.

Scenario:  A user logs into the Mid-Tier.  The customer would like me to 
capture the local TimeZone of the person that is logged in and automatically 
update the timezone field on the Locale tab in the User Preferences form for 
that person.

Has anyone had a similar requirement or have any suggestions?  

TIA
