I tried this version of gparted this morning. I have a practical suggestion of a way to resolve this. gprted works fine running in a terminal as a normal user using sudo for priviledge escalation. So the policykit-1 dependency does seem overly restrictive. Obviously this cannot work when clicking on a menu item. Maybe the dependency could be 'policykit-1 | sudo' and if pkexec is not found the /usr/sbin/gparted script could show a notification that it has to be run with sudo in a terminal? The majority of users would see no change to the behaviour and those who want to avoid policykit-1 for whatever reason would be able to do so. Thanks. Mark
