Its not working fo rme either. Unfortunately I am going on vacation tomorrow 
and don't have time
to track this down right now. I will look into this when I get back.

> Btw, i like the new adde datachooser!! Don, how do i filter out times, say:

> -for every day

I assume you are talking about the timelines? This is *really* bleeding edge so 
we'd like any feedback we can get.  Normally you select by shift-dragging or 
clicking to select particular times. However, you can also turn on a Date 
Selection thing. When viewing the timeline do a right click to show a popup 
menu.  Select "Use Date Selection". A bracketed line should show. This selects 
everything inside the range. By default the range of the Date Selection thing 
is the visible range of the timeline. You can change that by right-mouse menu 
-> turn off "Use Visible Range". Now you can grab the end points of the Date 
Selection and drag them.  In the popup menu  you can select an Interval (e.g., 
every 1 hour) a skip factor 
and a Count. The count is the max number of times selected. The Properties 
dialog allows you to set everything.

Its definitely off. I looked up the lat/lon of a couple of the cities shown on 
the image and
they are not shown in the right place - so our australia map lines are probably 
ok.
When I show the blue marble wms image it does line up with our map. So, I'm 
guessing
the problem is coming from their WMS server, that it is mis-locating the images.
