Um, ok so I take it there yet another serious bug that is causing rpm to
sleep.
The same horribly fragile user interface fix that I described in the "bugs
in r75" post can be used to make r81 behave as expected.
That is: go into options and check the box for "Use terminal window when
running the package manager"; then click apply and ok. And perform the
same upgrade/install that previosuly made synaptic go to sleep. Also;
that box _never_ stays checked if you go back in to options.
So from a users point of view Synaptic r81 is behaving exactly as it was
prior to your r79 sleep fix.
Hope this helps in some way.
