What about changing the View -> Time Display Format menu from:

  Date and time of day: 1970-01-01 01:02:03.123456
  Time of Day: 01:02:03.123456
  Seconds Since Epoch (1970-01-01): 1234567890.123456
  Seconds Since Beginning of Capture: 123.123456
  Seconds Since Previous Captured Packet: 1.123456
  Seconds Since Prevoius Displayed Packet: 1.123456
  UTC Date and Time of Day: 1970-01-01 01:02:03.123456
  UTC Time of Day: 01:02:03.123456

To something like this?

  Date and time of day (Local): 1970-01-01 01:02:03.123456
  Date and time of day (UTC): 1970-01-01 01:02:03.123456
  Time of Day (Local): 01:02:03.123456
  Time of Day (UTC): 01:02:03.123456
  Seconds Since Epoch (1970-01-01): 1234567890.123456
  Seconds Since Beginning of Capture: 123.123456
  Seconds Since Previous Captured Packet: 1.123456
  Seconds Since Prevoius Displayed Packet: 1.123456

Although the Ctrl+Alt+# shortcuts would be changed by inserting those 
options in the middle of the list (I never even noticed those were 
shortcuts there until now)

Another potentially better option would be to put a separate option in 
the menu to choose the timezone - local system or any other timezone 
including UTC.
