They certainly do work, now that I know about them.

I missed the menu items View > Zoom In and View > Zoom Out in the
obvious place in the menu because, as a newbie, I had just discovered
the zoom slider and had not really thought to look for the menu items.

Perhaps I would change the bug title to "The timeline zoom slider is
hard to control with the mouse", and make the request for two things
specifically:

* A (+) and (-) button at the appropriate ends of the slider, to make 
controlling zoom with the mouse easier.
* A way to go one or a few default zoom level, such as
    * fully zoomed in (slide the slider to the left, or select a menu item, or 
use a keyboard shortcut)
    * fully zoomed out (slide the slider to the right, or select a menu item, 
or use a keyboard shortcut)
    * default zoom level, with numbered ticks = 1s zoom level or so

To implement a default zoom level, a 'detent' on the zoom slider might be nice, 
much the same as the full volume level on the volume control under Lucid.
