Results of running gksu id: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) Seems to work fine.
As far as installing libgksu, I don't follow a lot of the Linux news and other than being able to muck around in my system I'm not a Linux heavy. I do have a very heavy Windows background but I've been away from programming for about 6 years now and getting quite rusty. I will gladly install it if you would kindly point me in the right direction. Once I'm on the right path I can easily take it from there. It seems as if the problem only pops up when I click on the panel icon when it reports that updates are available. If I ignore the icon and start the update-manager directly the problem never occurs. I've got a pretty standard system with no tweaks or development loads. I have installed all available updates. If there is anything else I can do to help please let me know. PS - Despite being a prior Windows programmer (mostly database and VB6 applications) I prefer to boot to Linux. Perhaps one of these days I will find the time to learn how to program in this environment.
