This isn't a problem; it's a pretty clear error message.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Patches/full-fledged suggestions for this would be great.

Sounds like your box isn't set to GMT.

And the problem with this being complex is ... ? It's an advanced feature, 
and you can turn it completely off by locking a single preference.

Could be complicated. Patches?

K... more specific info (or a mac, see below) needed to test this.

Already fixed.

Because we haven't quite worked out the UI for shared preferences yet. 
Someone said they were working on a tabbed-ui for switching between prefs 
for all available apps....

Patches?

Never heard of it. Are they actively developed? Interested in integration 
themselves? Patches?

Thanks. In turn, take the "Patches?" responses as shorthand for "sounds 
interesting, don't have time, hope someone looks at it - maybe that someone 
is you, maybe not".

I'd love to have a Mac to test this on. Unfortunately, I don't. If someone 
wanted to help out with that, I certainly wouldn't object. :)
