Title:
  When trying to open synaptic i get an error "could not grab your
  mouse"

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  I go to the applications tab on the top bar of Unity, go to system and
  click on synaptic.  The little gnome spinner works for quite a while,
  Screen flashes off and back on once.  Spinner stops shortly after that
  flash.

  Click on the Ubuntu logo to change to regular screen and then I can
  see the error message about not being able to grab my mouse and that
  something nasty may be spying on my system.

  This also happens if I try to open Software Sources.  USC will open.

  Synaptic opens fine from terminal and runs fine once open.
