Yes, an oversight, a.k.a. a bug :-) I believe that it is being dealt with
upstream. If you search
bugs.kde.org you'll find that there are some
related ones reported, such as asking for Dolphin to request a root
password when it's required. Meanwhile, it's necessary to run
systemsettings from a root konsole for some jobs.

Thanks for the info, Anne. I only searched bugzilla.redhat :-)
