This is happening on saucy testing installs, both with openbox and unity. Both are built up from minimal installs using --no-install-recommends to keep the system lightweight.

When I go to remove a residual config or an obsolete package, synaptic locks up. It's necessary to issue the command

sudo killall synaptic

before I can launch it again.

I'm not sure if this is related, but if I open synaptic in a terminal, I get repeated error messages:

(synaptic:1346): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkNotebook 0x98e3128 is mapped but visible child GtkLabel 0x9a17970 is not mapped

The string 0x98e3128 remains the same but the second string changes each time.

Other functions in synaptic work normally, as far as I can tell.
