Title:
  synaptic --help complains about the lack of administrative privileges

Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  When running 'synaptic --help' from the command line, I get a dialog
  complaining with "Starting without administrative privileges", and
  after clicking close on the dialog, I get the help in the terminal.
  The dialog should only appear if the command is not equal to --help,
  as that command should not require administrative privileges.
