When ran from terminal as regular user, dash icon disappears

[Mike L]

One must run "synaptic" from the terminal and close the warning that pops up. Notice there's a dash icon for the warning. But when synaptic comes up, there is no dash icon for some strange reason. The icon should appear in the dash like any other icon for any other app. Running synaptic 0.84.4 on Ubuntu 18.10. Could be a bug in gnome-shell. Not sure.
