Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

mandriver@mandriver-1201N:~$ time-admin
[Pressing "unlock" button]
(time-admin:3190): polkitgtk-WARNING **: Error obtaining authorization for action id `org.freedesktop.systemtoolsbackends.set': GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.NotAuthorized: Only trusted callers (e.g. uid 0) can use CheckAuthorization() and pass details

So, there is no obvious way for user to change system time. Time admin is used in Unity's indicator-datetime by default.
