Description of problem: Using the GNOME Shell on the latest live CD, I accessed the desktop clock/calendar and launching Evo, attempted to change the time zone. A dialogue box appeared informing me that I did not have permission as I was not super user. There was no prompt to enter a password and when I tried to cancel that dialogue box, it would not disappear. Don't know if this is just an issue with the live CD as I used the automatic log in and would not have a root user password anyway, but I thought the prompt for password input should still appear. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 Alpha TC2 Desktop (Live CD) How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on GNOME-Shell clock and choose to set the Evolution calendar time zone. 2. Notification appears that you need to be root. 3. Try clicking on authorisation and cancel buttons. Actual results: No prompt to input password appears. Clicking Cancel does not dismiss the dialogue box. Expected results: Prompt to change password. Additional info:
I tried this again using the nightly build for 23/2/2011 (http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/) and the "unlock" button now works and you can successfully change the time zone using the country and city drop down menus. However, doing so generates an SELinux permissions warning.
