I'm also experiencing this bug on Intrepid beta.
I cannot launch synaptic or other programs from the menu. However, I can still launch these programs using gksudo or gksu from gnome-terminal WITHOUT INPUT PASSWORD.

Syslog entry:
Oct 4 15:53:46 larry-laptop kernel: [ 297.198019] gksu[7675]: segfault at 7fb7841d3008 ip 00007fb78db8f538 sp 00007fff95fb2b10 error 4 in libgksu2.so.0.0.2[7fb78db82000+11000]
auth.log entry:

When I use gksuo or gksu from gnome-terminal, the auth.log entry:
