Bug Description
Binary package hint: indicator-datetime
When opening the time and date preferences (time-admin) from the date and time indicator in natty alpha 1, clicking the padlock icon to make changes does not show the authorization dialog. Instead, this error is logged:
polkitgtk-WARNING **: Error obtaining authorization for action id `org.freedeskto
The date and time can be edited by launching time-admin with gksudo, but the indicator does not launch it that way.
