1a. Run sudo gnome-control-center, or...
1b. Save the gnome-control-center.pkla from https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-control-center/ubuntu/revision/554 to /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/ and then run gnome-control-center as an admin user

2. Enter the Details panel
3. The hostname text field should be editable; change the text to something else.
4. The hostname is updated instantly which can be verified by looking in /etc/hostname. However /etc/hosts/ is not updated.

The hostnamed documentation at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/hostnamed says
"To properly handle name lookups with changing local hostnames without having to edit /etc/hosts for them we recommend using hostnamed in combination with nss-myhostname: http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-myhostname/ "

Without /etc/hosts being handled correctly, the hostnamed integration is only half-working which is why I didn't upload revision 554 to Raring itself yet.
