Public bug reported:
Synaptic incorrectly attempts to use pkexec when launched under the XDG-
recognized Trinity Desktop Environment. There is an override already
present in Synaptic for KDE users in the file /usr/share/applications
/synaptic-kde.desktop; simply adding another copy of that file named
/usr/share/applications/synaptic-tde.desktop with the KDE keys contained
therein changed to TDE would fix this issue. Furthermore
/usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop needs to have ";TDE" appended
to the NotShowIn line.
As precedent for special treatment has already been set for KDE I see no
reason why this could not be done for TDE as well.
Thanks!
