I'll show you how. Open a terminal. Position the terminal so that you 
can still see some of the update manager window. Then on the terminal, 
type "xkill". The mouse pointer turns into a skull. The next time you 
click on any window, that program gets killed. Click anywhere on the 
update manager window.

Cheers,
Daniel.
