Heh.  That's the exact problem I'm currently working on solving (in 
#5319), but I didn't think of it when I saw your post.  I hope in 0.22 
we'll have it working so if you start a frontend or slave backend whose 
time zone differs from that of the master backend, it will exit with a 
useful error message saying that you need to fix your time zone 
configuration.
