Time & Date Settings not working after upgrade to 11.04

[Colin Law]

Binary package hint: dbus

After upgrading to 11.04 the Time & Date Settings app is not working for one user, but does for another.
When I click on the time in the top panel and select Time & Date Settings nothing appears to happen.
If I run indicator-datetime-preferences in a terminal I see:

(indicator-datetime-preferences:5387): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

For a different user it works ok.
For reference only as I do not think it is likely to be connected, for this user also the left Win key does not function as Super, though the right does.
I have set the package as dbus due to the error message, it would not let me select indicator-datetime-preferences, saying it does not exist.

I get the same thing, but I did not install from an upgrade. I installed 11.04 to a new machine.

Same here. Fresh Installation of 11.04 and no access via the indicator panel or system settings tool.

The indicator panel applet does nothing but the spinner shows for a while when I launch from the systems settings menu. However
I did manage to get it to launch from the Terminal by typing:

[ sudo indicator-datetime-preferences ]

but most of the options are greyed-out and the terminal window also shows an error:

** (indicator-datetime-preferences:3138): WARNING **: Could not connect to geoname lookup server: Operation not supported

Hope this helps move things forward....
