Synaptic can run rpm in a terminal window as well. The terminal is
called vte and it's available for gtk programms. It's optional for rpm
as for rpm we have this nice dialog that hides the rpm output. It's
not a big thing, I'm just interessed if it works with this terminal
widget as well. You need vte-devel (version 0.11.11 or better) and
then build synaptic with "./configure --with-vte". 

thanks,
 Michael
