Hi Xavier,

Thanks, all feedback is appreciated!

Yes, the newer version of Synaptic is in Free's experimental backport of 
Gnome 2.18, which is not in the main APT branches.

I found that your problem has to do with the way dbus works, rather than 
a bug in any specific version of Gnome.

If you want to launch Nautilus as root, from an ordinary user terminal, 
without being prompted for the root password, you can use:

sudo dbus-launch nautilus

as long as your user is listed in the /etc/sudoers file.

Or:

sudo dbus-launch synaptic

if you don't want to use the entry on the Gnome -> Desktop -> 
Administration menu and type the password each time.

There are more details here:

> No problem with apt-get update.

Sounds like your system is in good shape then.

Cheers!

Daniel
