/prefs/datetime should default to server TZ

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg-debian.org@…>]

On a trac 0.11b1 setup with pytz installed, when a user goes to set their TZ preferences for the first time (at /prefs/datetime), they are confronted with a default choice of Asia/Qatar.

It would be more reasonable if they were given a default choice that matched the server's default time zone.

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg-debian.org@…>]

Probably even simpler to implement: the user could be given an explicit "Server Default" choice which would remove the matching name=tz row in the session_attribute table.

Fix to default users to server local time zone if they have no time zone set.

This is indeed annoying, looking into it.

I've applied this patch and it seems to work.

But when the user clicks "Save changes" with the setting unchanged ("Default time zone" chosen), it goes right back to Asia/Seoul again.

The current patch does indeed have some issues. Need to dig into it...

Fixed in r6689 with a slightly altered patch and another fix to Trac.
