[Bug 824985] [NEW] synaptic fails to start from unity launcher

[Stephen Cradock]

Public bug reported:

after the latest update (changelog talks about switching from gksu to
-pkexec for authentification) synaptic doesn't start from the unity
launcher. Starting in a terminal with "gksu synaptic" works fine.

Note, this is serious when update-manager is also out of commission!
