I know you're announcing this just as a courtesy, but ... I don't think the new string is an improvement, unfortunately. It's not really your fault, because you're following PolicyKit precedent, but really: "Privileges are required"? That makes no sense except to computer programmers. To non-programmer English speakers, privileges are things that can be granted, accorded, withdrawn, stripped, enjoyed, abused, or reserved, but never required. More understandable ways of saying this would be: * "To set the clock, you need to authenticate as an administrator." * "To set the clock, you need to authenticate as a member of group <whatever>." Where should I report the bug for fixing these messages in PolicyKit? I don't see a PolicyKit product or component in bugzilla.gnome.org.
