Dear Maintainer,

When I open Gnome settings in a session of a user that isn't an administrator,
it requests the admin password immediately when I go to the Date & Time tab,
even before I click the Unlock button. Moreover, if I click Cancel in the
password dialog, it appears again one or two times.

It becomes even more problematic when I open the Control Center after closing
it in a state when the Date & Time tab was active. In this case it asks for the
password on its start-up. By the way, after Debian was just installed, the
first active tab in the Control Center was Date & Time and I was very surprised
when the app prompted for admin password straight ahead on the first run.
