Did you actually select a timezone in the initial setup?
If you did, then we may have a bug. If you just hit 'OK' without
choosing a timezone then it is your fault ;)
Actually we should probably make sure the user chooses a timezone
before proceeding.

I've changed it so the tasks/calendar components never prompt for
the timezone now anyway.

This looks like a problem with the underlying ETable widget.
I'm not sure if it is a known problem or not.
We do have several problems with it at present.
