[Zope-CMF] CMF Skin / string or date comparison problem

[seb bacon]

I believe (not checked) that login_time is a string, and you are
comparing it with a ZopeTime object.  Check the Zope Help API section
for the DateTime API to see what kinds of string representation you can
get.  That's off the top of my head, though, so I could be wrong ;)
