FWIW unprivileged Trinity Control Center / Appearance and Themes / Background works fine but privileged Trinity Control Center / System Administration / Date & Time misbehaves as described above.
If I run /opt/trinity/bin/kcontrol from konsole then Date & Time works fine in both user and admin modes.
If I run /opt/trinity/bin/tdecmshell tde-clock.desktop it also works fine in both user and admin modes.
If I access Date & Time from Settings / Trinity Control Center main part of the menu it works fine.
But when I access Date & Time from the Actions (see screen shot) part of the menu it fails as previously described.

Hi Mike, thanks, I now understand.
If I run Trinity Control Center (main menu) -> Trinity Control Center (sub menu), then select System Administration and Date & Time from the tree, I see the module grayed out. After entering admin mode, the module is no longer grayed out, shows the red frame and I can change the time.
If I run Trinity Control Center (main menu) -> System Administration -> Date & Time, I get asked for the root password and upon inserting it, I get the working module BUT the red frame is missing. Do you get the module at all?
Using the second method, I can also open Device Manager, although I am not sure why the root password is required. Using the first method, I can access the Device Manager without being ask for the root password. So it looks like there is something not quite right here. Worth a bug report :-)
Cheers Michele
