I'm having trouble with remembering authorization for system actions. That is, it is never remembered.

For instance, when I go and change clock settings, the date&time module asks me to enter the root password. A check box named "remember authorization" is ticked. However nothing is remembered. If in a minute I go and change the settings again, the module asks me to enter the root password again.

I have tried to add some local policies via kcontrol/actions policy, but they are forgotten as soon as I exit kcontrol, and don't seem to have any effect even when they exist.

I'm really lost here. Any hints?

This is a bug, which unfortunately seems to never get resolved... :(

Thanks. Is there a way to add relevant policies manually? I have tried to read the polkit documentation and it looks like I need to files in /etc/polkit/localauthority. I added one named /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.kde.kcontrol.kcmclock.save:
Code:

[kcmclock]
Identity=unix-user:myusername
Action=org.kde.kcontrol.kcmclock.save
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes

But this doesn't seem to help. Am I missing something, or this is another manifestation of the same bug?
