This is assuming that you are using KDE as your desk top.
Check the "updates" icon's properties by right-clicking the icon, then
selecting "properties" in the pop-up dialog, then select the "execute" tab. In
the text box which contains the MandrakeUpdate command, edit it to look like
"kdesu -c MandrakeUpdate" (without the quotes). I did this and all goes well. I
enter my superuser password when I start the update program (make sure the
"keep password" check box is checked), and I am not asked for it again untill I
run the program again.
HTH,
