Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

On my edgy system, the tools bundled within gnome-system-tools can be launched without entering a password. Even by a user that shoult not be allowed to run it. Once launched, it still performs well, modifying the system without ANY check.
I am not sure that nothing is wrong with my system has it has been updated from dapper (from breezy).

My /etc/sudoers looks like a default one :
    Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn
    root ALL=(ALL) ALL
    %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

The binaries are not setuid, the UI run normally as a simple user.
