Bug#423178: gnome-panel: time-admin applet called without gksu

[Otavio Salvador]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.18.1-1+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello,

While making our derivative we found a trivial bug serious bug (from
user point of view) and we'd like to merge the patch on Debian to
avoid diverting from it.

If we've setted the system to use sudo, user cannot change the system
time and date since root account is locked. A simple solutions is call
time-admin with gksu.

If you don't want to merge this patch, please let us know and we can work out another solution that is suitable for Debian and our needs.
