Comment (by imfletcher):
i set server to UTC because my app defaults timezones for users, and every
user must choose when they signup. so no one uses the default server
setting. UTC seemed reasonable given thats how the stuff is stored in the
db anyway.
IMO the only 100% solution here is to have some ability to tell the admin
site how to activate the admin user's timezone (there can be multiple
admins in diff tz's). without a timezone column in auth_user (which is
kind of curious but i'm sure a deep issue), i'm not sure how to handle it
other than perhaps a tzinfo dropdown in the header so a user can choose
(and a cookie to save it).
