Description Thomas 2015-01-21 04:00:11 UTC 
Make a change to the date/time when not logged in as the root.  It will prompt you for your root password, press OK(next to apply) instead of typing in the password. You get: Error - KDE Control Module that states "Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 6,"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make date or time change
2. Press Apply
3. Wait for password prompt
4. Press OK on the date/time settings window instead of typing password into auth window.

Actual Results:  
Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 6,
We are sorry, KDE Control Module closed unexpectedly.
Executable: kcmshell4 PID: 1840 Signal: Segmentation fault (11) Time: 01/20/15 07:52:14 PM

Expected Results:  
The OK button perhaps should just be disabled if there is a pending authentication.

KDE is 1337, just sayin!
