I have a gksu synaptic launcher stacked in the Xfce panel so never have to open from the menu or desktop. Ditto other root accessible apps.

That will work until synaptic is upgraded to a newer version. Then your edited .desktop file will be replaced. I solved that problem by making a separate .desktop file called synaptic-gksu.desktop. Make sure to change the Name field, because you will have two entries in your menu for synaptic. You need to be able to tell them apart.

gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop

and change line Exec=synaptic-pkexec to Exec=gksu synaptic
