Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: synaptic
If Synaptic is started by a non-privileged user (not using sudo or su),
it shows the following text in a caption-less (anonymous) dialog, before
the main window is opened:
[quote]
Starting without administrative privileges
You will not be able to apply any changes. But you can still export the marked
changes or create a download script for them.
[/quote]
I am irritated by the fact that the dialog is anonymous. It should have
a caption so the user can see where it comes from. Furthermore, the only
button is labelled "Close". In this context, I think "OK" is the only
valid label, although I would welcome a Cancel button, which would close
the application immediately.
Admittedly, this dialog should not be seen very often, and then only in
an interactive scenario where the user issues the "synaptic" command in
a console. However, to me this dialog happened to flash by during a
session restore, and then it was very difficult to connect to Synaptic.
