I came across this a couple days ago. When running synaptic you are actually using the settings of the root user account. The root user is not aware of your individual settings.

You can do something similar to the following to ensure root has your themes.


sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root
sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root

I'm not in front of my system, but I think you can do this for .fonts as well. I'll update later, when I have a chance to look, but it worked for me.

I just double-checked my pc and I linked .themes, .icons, and .fonts. I tested it out and it works.
