Bug Description

this is a newly installed lubuntu system with norwegian language system. All installed software is at the latest versions.
 On my other pc with similar system, but english, I never had similar problem. I try to start synaptic from a terminal window (LXTerminal, if it matters), as such: sudo synaptic

The synaptic window opens, and then closes down befor I get a chance to do anything. The output in the terminal window is as follows:

phajsi@phajsi-EASYNOTE-NJ65:~$ sudo synaptic

** (synaptic:2015): WARNING **: Invalid borders specified for theme pixmap:

(end of output)

I should mention that the exact error report varies some from time to time I do this, and just once it opened the synaptic window, I was allowed to mark some software for installation, but when clicking "do it" (the text is in norwegian, this is my translation), synaptic bomb without doing anything. But this happened only once, I have not been able to replicate it!
