You may be right?
I don't know if using the putenv() function for changing the timezone,
will ruin anything?

This should of course be possible to do. But it just made more sense to
me, to do it as generel setting for the typo3 installation.

The BE editing is another story in my mind.
This will be harder to fix on a "application level" because you would
have to do the changes in javascript.. something I don't know much
about.
