indicator-cpufreq crashed with dbus.exceptions.DBusException in call_blocking(): com.hostname.DeviceDriver.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: com.hostname.indicatorcpufreqselector.setfrequencyscaling

This happened after creating an account with standard rights and clicking on the cpufreq-indicator in unity and trying to set another frequency. I didn't enter my password, so cpufreq couldn't change the frequency and crashed.
