Bug Description

What happens now:

When synaptic is open and I try to install something in the software center, the software center will wait for synaptic to close before continuing.

What should happen:

A message should appears which warns about synaptic being open.

Reason:

Now, it has happened several times to me that I put the software center in the background and when I then check it again 5 minutes later no progress happened.
