To get synaptic to show orphans, you have to add a filter. Follow these instructions:

- Start synaptic
- Proceed to Settings->Filters
- New filter
- Uncheck everything but "Orphaned"; if you leave anything else checked, then either nothing will show or every package available will show.
- View the filter under Custom Filters

I'm pretty sure we're talking about someone a little more advanced than Joe Mama is going to see.
