The checkboxes that appear to be changeable under the Edit / Software Sources dialog box cannot be changed. I click on them and they just turn gray and stay at their current setting.
Update:
When I run software-center from a terminal window and try to change one of the checkbox settings, I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

dbus.exceptions.DBusException:

These things happen instead of it properly prompting me for a password (for root privs).
