Actually, that was fixed some time ago upstream as part of bug 221363,
but version 2.10.2 of the system-tools-backends was never uploaded to
Ubuntu. :-(

Title:
  PolicyKit button doesn't allow authenticating

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

Bug description:
  I want a desktop GUI method to change my hostname.  So I apt-get
  install gnome-network-admin.

  But now when I go to System > Administration > Network, the program
  network-admin says "Not authorized to make changes".  I must manually
  launch a shell and run "gksu network-admin".  (This is using the admin
  account created during install, which is a member of the admin and adm
  groups.)

  It should just prompt me for my password.  I see no way to edit the
  system hostname without going to a shell.
