When I navigate to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager it will prompt me for a password. The problem is that it always says I entered the wrong password.

If I run the command "gksudo synaptic" from the console, the password I enter works fine and Synaptic starts with no issues.

I'm guessing I configured something improperly when setting up the OS. Any ideas to get Synaptic to work from the Gnome panel?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10.
