Title:
  Dialog "Authentication is required to change your own user data"
  appears when chnaging keyboard language inside non-physical session

Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Dialog "Authentication is required to change your own user data"
  appears when changing keyboard language inside non-physical session.

  This is reincarnation of
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1512002.

  I am experiencing the bug on 16.04 with gnome-flashback session inside x2go session.
  The dialog pops-up when I try to switch keyboard language using indicator.

  The irony that there is no way to enter the password when switching back to the language of the password.
   
  This what systemd log shows when request is denied:
