Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
package: gnome-system-tools 2.30.0
Affected: time-admin and other parts of gnome-system-tools which uses the "lock"-icon between the "Help"- and "Close" Buttons. (Are they using Policikit?)
Theese items have their width calculated as one-third of width of their parent view. At least in german this leads to an undesirable behaviour. Unauthenticated the time and date-window is 660px wide (too wide for my taste). But authorized this window becomes 1000px wide! This is ridiculous.
Maybe it is a bette idea to place the "Lock"-Butten and its Label above the "Close"- and "Help"-Button. Depending the width of theese two buttons on the width of a text label isn't a good idea.
I think changing the size of a dialog as a result of changing a text label is not a good idea also.

Yeah, I've reported this long time ago upstream, so far no reply. The message should really be made shorter (using French here). But one of the solutions is to get rid of these buttons, just like users-admin in Lucid. ;-)
