Ah. It's displayed there, but not in the admin-accessible user
configuration page at
Tools->configuration->users->(Select user) . I didn't
realise that the user-level one might have different (or more, at
least) fields to the admin one.<br>

My apologies for the stupid question.<br>

That said, from a usability point of view, the "Options" page could
really use a link to "About me", particularly in the "Locale" and
"Mail" sections. The separation of display timezone and date format
locale seems really bizarre, and is part of why I didn't find the
option; if it were supported, surely the timezone would be set in
the user editor accessible as admin, or in the Options section? It
never occurred to me to look in About Me.<br>
