Bug#858541: system-config-printer: Printer propertys accessible without authentication

Package: system-config-printer
Version: 1.5.7-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I can access the printer's properties by doubleklicking it, although it is
locked. This access does not ask me for any authentication, while unlocking the
printer does.

This seems to be a security issue.

Yours
  David
