I now checked with the Hardy release - still the same: synaptic and update-manager not working from GUI.

It does not relate to the kernel as reported previously, it only was introduced at that time.
It happens as soon as I create a true root-account with following line in /etc/sudoers:

Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn,targetpw,timestamp_timeout = 0

su and sudo work fine, they respect /etc/sudoewrs and request the target-password.
synaptic and update-manager just die silently.
