Public bug reported:

I am unable to start synaptic.  When attempting to start it, a blank
window flashes on the screen momentarily then disappears.

Ubuntu 11.10
synaptic 0.75.2ubuntu8
Gnome shell 

When running "gksu synaptic" from the command line i see a bunch of messages 
about unable to get theme:
(gksu:9656): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: 
"pixmap",
(gksu:9656): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: 
"pixmap",
(gksu:9656): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: 
"pixmap",
(gksu:9656): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: 
"pixmap",

Similar messages and behavior if just running "synaptic" or "sudo
synaptic"

Since this is saying something about themes, it makes me wonder if this
is an issue specific to the gnome shell gui?

This is 100% reproducable on my machine.
