Sounds much better ;-)  (I also like Marcus' idea about using sudo 
and/or kdesu.)

For the records: I'd like to have the following permission levels in the 
package management:
a) check for updates ("suse-watcher" style)
b) install updates (including uninstalling obsolete and installing new 
   requirements from existing installation sources)
c) install / remove any package from existing installation sources

The problem with zen-updater is that it currently needs b) and c), 
therefore people can easily add and remove other packages with 
zen-installer/-remover even if the admin isn't aware of this.


Regards,

Christian Boltz
