The latest Synaptic starts differently:
https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/synaptic/0.75.12
My menu entry has been changed to synaptic-pkexec and no longer
functions at all. Running synaptic-pkexec under sudo throws a GTK
fault, running it alone invokes an authentication dialogue which does
not accept my user password but does accept the root password and then
gives the same GTK error.
I'm currently starting it with gksudo synaptic, when it requires my
user password. I'm hoping it will be fixed soon.
