It is unclear if the Synaptic desktop icon is now working for you. I'm using a recent install of Debian 13 (testing) and I remember that Synaptic would not start using the desktop icon. I remember changing something on /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop and it started working. I think it was the Exec parameter. It is now "Exec=synaptic-pkexec", and it's working. -- Bruno Schneider
