I hope I'm helping out by offering complaints - Synaptic is really useful. Synaptic and the update manager grabs focus a lot. I think every time it installs. When I install something, and flip over to another program, synaptic will take focus.. When it finishes down loading and starts installing, it will show up, even though there's nothing I need to do at that point.
I'm sorry if this is a problem with my install, or a setting of some kind.
