If that is the case then how are a user's GTK+ theme and font preferences
utilized by Synaptic (something I just noticed in Breezy Colony 3--good job
developers!)?

If there are two system administrators who have different preferences for
accessiblity reasons, they should not be forced to share the same settings just
because they are running Synaptic (or any other graphical program for that
matter). Perhaps the programs front-end should run as the user and the back-end
as root?

The end-user should see a consistent interface across the system. Anything less
than that is a usability issue that should be addressed.
