In 151a5, I had to fiddle with password before time-slider GUI config worked.  But the present release is 151a7, so maybe that's a resolved issue now.  Either way, the workaround was trivial, so I would say you can safely call the issue resolved.

Workaround for 151a5 was:
(Assuming I created my user "eharvey" during install)
sudo su -
passwd eharvey  (set it to something temporary)
passwd root   (set it to something temporary)
passwd eharvey   (put it back to what I want it to be)
passwd root  (put it back to what I want it to be)

And after that, launch the time-slider GUI config utility.
