I have had no problems running the add/remove software application which is about the only other application I have had occasion to run that requires admin rights. The problem seems to only occur when I click on the updates are available icon. I'm not sure if there is a difference in how this icon starts the update manager or not. I have two machines (Dell laptop and a Dell desktop) that both exibit the same error. I also have a Cloudbook that is running an older version of GOS that has not seen this issue either so it appears to be associated with the new release.
