If the update manager icon shows new updates, you can now (edgy, feisty) view that list without sudo. However, if you click the "check" button, it prompts for a password. This is annoying, because you can't check for new updates without typing your password, even if there actually aren't any. But, the system can automatically check for updates in the background without your password, so I don't see why a password should be required. (again, principle of least privileges.)
