synaptic does not show up in my menu

in

This program requireselevated user privileges.Back in 2005 the Portland project proposedsomething likeRequiresRoot=true indesktop entries,then shifted to xdg-su,but it was removed from 1.0. Ubuntu people adopted KDE approach: mark such entries by

 X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true

The menu builder shows such entries only to sudoers, i.e. users beloging to the admin group.This is right the case for synaptic.
