    Maybe it is the combination of settings in my system which shows up the
    problem. I relate it to probably the library problem which took out the
    toolbar icons for the past month or so ... since suddenly the toolbar icons
    are back and now this problem I have.

    Test case: I just tried the very first one I found in the "all" category...
    "3dchess". Clicked on mark for install, then the window comes up telling me
    it will also install "xaw3dg". If I click on the "X" in upper right corner
    of window to close window without action, all is well. But clicking on
    either "Mark" or "Cancel" takes me completely out of synaptic. (At times
    before it knocked me out of the session and back to login screen.)

    By the way, how do you start up synaptic?

    As I mentioned before, this happens to both my debian installs. It did not
    happen on the 2nd computer until after I upgraded via apt-get. I just
    checked for any updates and there are none at this hour.

    Thanks,
    Don
