Not totally true:
Start->Configuration->Other->Discover Custom Services should give you a password
dialog and run drakfw (or whatever it is) as root.
However, I think the point is that a MandrakeClub member must not have any
difficulty in:
a)finding out how to register/add the source.
b)actually running it and having it work correctly.
So, ideally the first-time wizard should check if there is a urpmi source of the
default club source name or not, and if it does not exist, provide a way
(informing the user that this requires root priveleges) to run the tool as root.

I synchronized with the cooker mirrors yesterday, created a new user, logged
into X as that user and went through the drakfirsttime menus.
I was offered to enter my mandrakeclub information, but was also told that I
need to log in as root in order for that information to be added to my urpmi setup.
Fair enough, only root can modify the urpmi setup, but:
1) We don't want to encourage users to log into X as root. We can, however,
prompt them for the root password.
2) With mdkkdm, which is the default dm now, there is no way for users to log
into X as root!
In other words, in the default setup, the mandrakeclub registration dialog
cannot achieve its goal due to lack of root priviledges!
