After looking into the problem with jquery 1.3+ and timecloud widget, the issue seems to be, that the culprit was my upgrade of jquery-ui to 1.6rc6 up from the 1.5 branch. The slider widget was heavily rewritten if i understand this mailing-list thread correctly.
My guess is, that there is a discrepancy between different versions of jquery and the slider widget. The timecloud widget will work with jquery 1.3+, but without correctly working sliders.
i'll need to dig deeper to work this out.
