Description David Le Sage 2011-02-17 03:58:06 UTC
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.

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.
