I'm a little confused here. Are you root when you're attempting to run
these programs, and are you running them from the desktop shortcut/menu
shortcut, or from the command line?
When I start Mandrake Control Center from the Icon either from the
desktop or from the menu item I always have to authenticate myself as
root user. anytime I invoke urpmi it's always on the command line in
this manner:
urpmi <some-file-name> [enter]
When doing this I am already logged in as root in a console.
