In systemsettings, the "About Me" section: I tried to change my name, 
and was asked for my password, which I expected. But even though I write 
the correct password, I get a window with title "Sorry - Systemsettings"
containing the message:

********
As error occurred and your password has probably not been changed. The 
error message was: chfn: Permission denied.
********

Going back to systemsettings later shows that the name has been 
changed successfully.
