2.Open Edit / Preferences / Lightning / Timezone
3.Timezone is empty
Actual Results:

WFM. Anything errors in your js console?
Please check if Tools -> Error Console reports any error messages after opening the preference dialog. If yes please copy+paste them here.
Are you using a 3rd party Thunderbird theme or a 3rd party theme for the Ubuntu desktop? If yes, can you please try to revert back to the default theme and see if the bug persists?
Reply to #1: (What's "WFM"?) Lots: I cannot cut and paste them as a group (unless there is a text file somewhere), so I will cut and paste them one at a time...

Reply to #3: No Ubuntu theme, no Thunderbird theme.
WFM == works for me

Does your system meet the requirement, especially libstc++ ?

<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/system-requirements.html>
Reply to #5: System is Ubuntu 7.10 with all updates and GCC 4.1.

From http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/system-requirements.html

Software Requirements
* Linux kernel - 2.2.14 or higher --- "uname -a" gives "Linux krustowski 2.6.22-15-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 18:39:13 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux"

  o glibc 2.3.2 or higher --- can't see on Synaptic Package Manager: how do I get this? (as part of GCC it's GCC 4.1)
  o XFree86-3.3.6 or higher --- can't see this either
  o gtk+2.0 or higher --- Synaptic Package Manager says 1:2.12.2-0ubuntu1
  o fontconfig (also known as xft) --- 2.4.2-1.2ubuntu4(gutsy)
  o libstdc++5 --- yes, both 5 & 6 installed: 5 is 1:3.3.6-15ubuntu2(gutsy), 6 is 4.2.1-5ubuntu4(gutsy)
    (Many modern Linux distributions only package libstdc++6, which is incompatible with Lightning. Therefore please install the package "libstdc++5" or "compat-libstdc++" on your system before installing Lightning)


Minimum Hardware
* Intel Pentium II or AMD K6-III+ 233 MHz CPU (Recommended: 500MHz or greater) --- 1.4 GHz Intel
* 64 MB RAM (Recommended: 128 MB RAM or greater) --- 512 Mb
* 52 MB hard drive space --- yes, Gigs
Have your system had libstdc++.5 installed before you've installed lightning?
Since the calendar core components cannot be loaded, could you please check libcalbasecomps.so in your profile's directory, e.g. ldd -r libcalbasecomps.so? I suspect there are missing dependent libraries.
Reply to #7: System was built 2nd August from CD.
"Have your system had libstdc++.5 installed before you've installed lightning?"
Probably?  I don't recall explicitly installing it.

Please make sure you have thunderbird's libs in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or similar so that ld finds them) before running ldd.
Reply to #9: (1) What needs to be done to the installer(s) for T-bird and/or Lightning, so that these are found on installation?  (2) How are they added to the dependencies?

There's no LD_LIBRARY_PATH in set or env:
$ env | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ set | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ 

(3) Which path should I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to?  Because there's *multiple* copies of *all* of these on the system:

(4) Worrying, perhaps, that there are two versions of libxpcom.so & libxpcom_core.so.

(5) What should I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to?  Is this OK?
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox/;/usr/lib/thunderbird/

(6) Where should I put this?   In /etc/profile?  (which is for bash?)  Or /etc/thunderbird/profile/prefs.js ?

Please install libstdc++.5 and re-install lightning after that.
Reply to #8: (Sorry, re-reading my response, I can see that it could be taken either of two ways.)

"Have your system had libstdc++.5 installed before you've installed lightning?"

Yes, it *is* installed, and 
*definitely* installed before Lightning 0.9pre, and
*probably* installed before Lightning 0.8.

"Please install libstdc++.5 and re-install lightning after that."

Since libstdc++5 was already installed, I uninstalled Lightning, exited T-bird, restarted T-bird, and....

.... the Timezones have reappeared .... Problem has disappeared: well done.

Is this just an unresolved dependency issue?

I guess you meant to say you re-installed lightning after this? Why else would you see timezones?

Yes, you first have to install libstdc5++ and then install lightning.
Setting to WFM per comment 13.

What I *meant* by this (natural language is hard to use for specifications) is that:
Why doesn't the installation of Lightning also install libstdc++5? (Is this even possible?)
