[Bug 696115] Re: Timezone should not require superuser on laptop

 

Sorry.   Let me be a bit more formal.

I suggest that laptops are either:
1) single user
in which case changing the time zone won't hurt other users,
2) physically shared amongst several people

  Timezone should not require superuser on laptop

Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

When you carry a laptop from one timezone to another, it's nice to be able to set the time correctly, even if you don't have administrative rights on the laptop.
