Hmpf.  Because of some other errors previously with other apps, setup, etc, I 
couldn't be certain that what was in my .xsession-errors really applied to 
MandrakeUpdate so I deleted the file and recreated it (touch 
.xsession-errors) and THEN tried running MandrakeUpdate again as a user and 
then as superuser.  As a user, I get the dialog box asking if I want to run 
it unpriviledged or login as root.  Either way, it flashes and crashes.  As 
root, trying to run it flashes and crashes.  In neither case is anything 
entered in .xsession-errors, so I must conclude that none of the previous 
messages in the file related to MandrakeUpdate.
