Some applications' menu bars aren't coded to be integrated with Unity yet. For example: the LibreOffice suite.

This probably hasn't been integrated into Synaptic because it's used on so many other distributions that do not include Unity (Debian, for example).

That's just speculation, though. I can't say that's exactly why it hasn't been implemented yet.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug #592842, so it is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.

This is not specific to synaptic, but to applications run with sudo, as these do not integrate with the global menu. See bug #592842 for more details.
