Using the latest version of Mist on Mac OSX, I'm simply trying to deploy the crypto coin recipe straight from the Ethereum website and deploy on the Mist test net.
The code compiles with no errors before deployment, but halts with an "Intrinsic gas too low" error, despite my making no amendments to the code example.
Based on other questions on the same topic, this is about the intrinsic being set too low – but that value is hard coded and cannot be changed in the UI. Another answer given on the forum suggests inserting "Payable" in the contract's functions, after the arguments. Alas, this did not allow me to deploy.
I'm wondering if this is something i'm missing from the tutorial, or a problem with my wallet, or a bug in the code that is not immediately obvious.

The code doesn't seem to have any problem. I have tried deploying the code and it works fab. The one reason may be that the account from which you are trying to deploy the contract doesn't have sufficient ethers. Please verify this.
No, the value is not hard coded. You can change the fee provided. Just under the contract deployment section- you can see, there is a select fee option. You can increase the gas provided for deploying your contract by moving the
SELECT FEE
slider towardsFASTER
end.
