Bug#569035: /usr/bin/time-admin: time-admin: not allowed to access system configuration

Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 2.28.2-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/time-admin

When I start time-admin as a normal user, either from the GNOME menu through
System > Administration > Time and Date
or by directly calling time-admin I'm getting the error message:
"The configuration could not be loaded - You are not allowed to access the
system configuration."

I'd expect to be prompted for the root password instead.

(I've upgraded from lenny a couple of months ago.)

Cheers!

Thiemo
