Here's an update, completely remove package 'gtk3-engines-xfce' and see 
how Synaptic behaves.  I had to use the console to start Synaptic, 
haven't checked that out yet, but after installing 'gtk3-engines-xfce' 
Synaptic went south, purging gtk3-engines-xfce and synaptic was okay 
again.  Hope that helps.
