Comment 1 for bug 13054

Thanks for your bugreport.

With "complettly frozen" you mean "can't close it with the close button" I
assume? Because it should redraw itself.

I would be interessted what your "use-case" is. When do you want to close
synaptic when it reloads it's cache? It may be a better solution to just add a
"exit now" button at those point.
