You can achieve this without needing to install any extra packages.




  1. Add your application (synaptic) to the panel

  2. Open a lxterminal and navigate to ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels

  3. type the following to open the file leafpad panel

  4. find the line id=/usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop

  5. change this line to id=synaptic.desktop

  6. save and exit leafpad

  7. create a local applications menu folder mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications

  8. copy the master synaptic.desktop file: cp /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop ~/.local/share/applications

  9. edit the newly copied file: leafpad ~/.local/share/applications/synaptic.desktop
