Public bug reported: In a dual monitor environment where separate Xfce4 desktops are running on each monitor, you can start Synaptic in either desktop environment, but if you start it on display :0.1, it shows the Authenticate pop-up window on display :0.0. Once the password is entered, the main window will then appear on display :0.1. All the components of a given program should be display-environment-aware.
There are a number of system applications that have similar problems. I'll report them as I continue to encounter this problem.
