I am also having the same trouble. I didn't see a reply to Andrew's
question, so I wanted to add that I am also interested in solving this
one. I never encountered this problem when I was using other (lesser)
distributions. Please help if you know the answer. There are some tools
like gnome-apt that I would like to use without having to end my
x-session and start a new one as root.
