Bug Description
If I click on lxpanel in trusty and right click on application launch bar setting on the right column avaialbe applications under system tools synaptic package manager shows up twice. I think showing up once to add synaptic to the launch bar is enough.
This is on lxpanel 0.6.1-ubuntu1

Hi,
The reason why Synaptic appears twice is that the Synaptic package comes with two desktop files ("one to bother the other"). Under /usr/share/ applications there are synaptic.desktop, and synaptic- kde.desktop.
The last one contains this line:
OnlyShowIn=KDE;
which doesn't seem to make much effect, because it is most often showing twice when it should not. Maybe would it be possible to try a "NotShowIn=LXDE; GNOME; Openbox;" or such instead of a "OnlyShowIn=KDE;"?
At least you can check what I am saying by simply moving the file out of the way ( cd to /usr/share/ applications then "sudo mv synaptic- kde.desktop synaptic- kde.desktop- SAVE").
