Package: Synaptic

Thanks for your bugreport.
You're welcome!
I have the 'Applying Changes' text box set to close after downloading
completes. If I change desktops while it is completing the installation
of new packages, and the set up routine completes while I'm on another
desktop, Synaptic eventually goes back to its interactive mode (ie I can
select more changes.)
However, the window displaying the 'Applying Changes' routine will still
be 'alive' but empty wherever I left it. If I close this window manually
(I can minimise it without ill-effect), Synaptic crashes. An error box
reports the following:
I was not able to reproduce the problem here with metacity. But it
seems to triggered by icewm as window manager. I'm not sure if this
might be a icewm bug.
I bit the bullet and tried to reproduce the behaviour on twm, metacity,
enlightenment, fvwm and xfwm, all to no result. IceWM, however, still
reproduced it quite faithfully.
(Oh what a fun night *this* has been! Now I know why I never took up
programming ;-))
Do I need to resubmit this, or should I leave it to you?
Cheers,
Michael
