Hi folks,

on my system /debian-amd64/testing) I can start Synaptic as a normal user, 
just by using the user password. In KDE this is not possible, there I need the 
root password.

I do not have sudo in use.

As I do not know, if this is a problem on my system (I have no second one to 
confirm this)., maybe please someone else could check this.

If I am correct, this is a security hole. If I am wrong, I have to recheck my 
system.

Thank you for your help.

Best

Hans
