Description Tomas Bzatek 2011-09-13 07:47:31 UTC 
For gnome-control-center's datetime panel we would like to have a single polkit action that unlocks complete functionality. Control center panels carry the Unlock button which can hold only a single polkit action.

Any other ideas how to solve this concern?

See also gnome-settings-daemon policy file: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/plugins/datetime/org.gnome.settingsdaemon.datetimemechanism.policy.in

What's the reasoning behind using those separate policies?

Being able to set the time or the date only makes sense if you're also allowed to disable NTP. And you can change the time and date somewhat by changing the timezone.

I would have a separate policy for the Get/Set UTC, but a single one for the rest of the settings.

I figure this is obsolete now given that PK clients can now acquire privileges to multiple actions at the same time.
