Instead of changing the menu entry an easier option is to create a shell
wrapper which will change to the proper directory and invoke Mandrake Update.
1. Rename MandrakeUpdate to MandrakeUpdate.orig
2. Create a new shell script with the following contents and call it
MandrakeUpdate
-- cut here --
#!/bin/sh
cd /tmp
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/MandrakeUpdate.orig
-- cut here --
3. Make the file executable with the command 'chmod +x MandrakeUpdate'
This should solve your problem.
