Well...didn't work, but .xsession-errors is finally producing messages again 
and I BELIEVE that these last two lines really do apply to MandrakeUpdate.  I 
don't understand why it took so long for messages to appear - the file was 
empty for many hours, even after trying MandrakeUpdate multiple times.

In any case, this is the pertinent, me thinks, entries at the end of 
.xsession-errors:

KDE detected X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9
  Major opcode:  14
KDE detected X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9
  Major opcode:  14

Any ideas?
