Need a bit of help with synaptic

[Jozsef Mak]

Hi,

I just updated Synaptic using the synaptic_0.55+cvs20041119-1_i386.deb 
package. The update went fine but now when I want to start synaptic from the 
menu it gives me an error 'You must run this program as the root user'
Previously, a small window popped up asking me for my password. How can i 
restore this feature. Because now, i can run synaptic only from the command 
line.

Many thanks
