Doesn't Synaptic eventually show you a window wherin it is unpacking and
installing your downloaded packages and you then get to tell it to stop
because it ahs completed successfully? I think that's the default. You
probably already /have/ installed them. You may need to get the menu
program (watch for Synaptic to run the installation window) and run the
command, <update-menus>. At least that works for me in IceWM. I can't
really say about the default Ubuntu WM's menus.
