Timezone stuff

I have solved my own issue. But I shall leave it up here, as another noob might find this useful.

The 'Userlocale' is required in a "en-US" type format. For all non-US types, the documentation wasnt' very helpful!

It's taken me a while to track down how this format hangs together.

The first part is the language - look up here ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166

The second part is your country - look it up here ....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2

e.g for the UK, I simply needed "en-GB" in my UserLocale section ...

This also worked for the "KeyboardLocale" ... so my final 'UK' settings are thus ...

SkipLocaleSelection=NO
SkipTimeZone=NO

KeyboardLocale=en-GB
UserLocale=en-US <<< this is the language - en-US is "English", there is no 'UK' option (even though they spell "colour" wrong ;) )
UILanguage=en-GB
TimeZoneName=GMT Standard Time
