Yep, it uses a QSettings config file which is described in the wiki.

I did not test it, but that file would make sense. My first impression is that is some binary file with citycodes in hex format. Not some standard (database) format.
As the current solution works fine, I see no reason to look into that further.

It's not related that way. The replacement clock uses an API, described and provided by Nokia. That this API could use this file, has no direct relationship to the open source character of the replacement clock. If it just contains the map data, I will probably not use it anyway.

Adding any new feature will likely break the translations, unless it can be provided by some other default translation file. I don't want to end up with a semi translated worldclock.
A solution for that would be to create and maintain our own translations, as the openmediaplayer project does. I sort of decided I do not want to go that way, just for one or two missing translations.
