Title:
  PolicyKit authentication error: Only trusted callers (e.g. uid 0) can
  use CheckAuthorization() and pass details

Status in PolicyKit GNOME component:
  Expired
Status in policykit-1-gnome package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.freedesktop.systemtoolsbackends.set':
  GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.NotAuthorized: Only
  trusted callers (e.g. uid 0) can use CheckAuthorization() and pass
  details

  The date and time can be edited by launching time-admin with gksudo,
  but the indicator does not launch it that way.
