Hello Derek,

hmmm... I do have a root password, but wouldn't you assume gksu to inform me 
  that the password was incorrect, instead of carrying on checking for updates?

I suppose you're right, though, according to man gksu, since there's a 
switch for running it as a specified user. Unspecified probably means root, 
but it's hard to tell from those pages.... ;)
