José, I am also running Gnome 2.20 (2.20.0-7). As you suggested I dragged the 'Install Software' menu item onto a terminal which pointed me to the script /usr/bin/package-manager. There I found the glorious environment variable XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL which I set =1. Now the script at least tells me why it dies, ie. Invalid MIT_MAGIC_COOKIE-1 Will have to read up on X server access control but at least know where to start looking. Thanks for your help.
