synaptic package manager not in menu

After creating an account for my step-daughter, I gave her (temporary) 
admin privileges so she could install some software. When I had her 
look in the System -> Administration menu synaptic package manager was 
absent. I was able to install the s/w she wanted with apt-get so she 
*did* have admin privileges. "Edit Menus" showed the package manager 
was checked. Running "/usr/sbin/synaptic worked but I would like it in 
the GUI menu for her.

Any ideas?
