Public bug reported: Start plasma-discover because there are pending updates. Click on "Update all". When the authentication box pops up Cancel it (I've decided I now want to look at some information before continuing). The box goes away. Click on "Update all" again. It greys-out all buttons, presumably waiting for an authentication box to return, but *no authentication box is posted*! (Which is the bug)
You have to kill -TERM the process and start again.
