Public bug reported: Dialog "Authentication is required to change your own user data" appears when changing keyboard language inside non-physical session.
This is reincarnation of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1512002. I am experiencing the bug on 16.04 with gnome-flashback session inside x2go session. The dialog pops-up when I try to switch keyboard language using indicator. The irony that there is no way to enter the password when switching back to the language of the password.
