synaptic with sudo? I do not use synaptic, but does it not work like aptitude? I mean, you run it as $USER and if it comes to the installation of the package(s) it ask for the root password? You get the error, because sudo tries to run a GTK program as root in a $USER environement which is not allowed by default...
