trash there timezone accidentally.
Well, right now, the code that generates the dropdown is intentionally
ignoring non-location based timezones, although they are usually
available. For example, in my local installation, PHP returns a list of
zones named like "Etc/GMT-6". If these are there, it would not be a huge
stretch to have it default to one of these if no location-aware TZ is
selected.
I could also make it display the DST rule for the selected timezone. My
plugin does this if it detects support for it. It says something similar
to "This timezone is currently in standard time. This timezone switches to
daylight savings time on: March 8, 2009 @ 3:00 am CDT" and so forth. Bit
of feedback to let you know if the location you picked is correct.
