Hi, I can see that partitionmanager produces several zombie processes, even by starting partitionmanager-bin as a user, and it looks like a Qt bug. However, it starts fine, both as a normal user and as root. For this reason, I am lowering the severity. Would it be possible for you to provide a strace log of partitionmanager when it locks up? Try running "strace -f -o logfile partitionmanager-bin" as root, or if it doesn't hang that way, start partitionmanager and do "strace -p $pid", where $pid is the pid of the non-zombie partitionmanager-bin instance. I'd prefer the first way though. I'd also like the output of "ps auxf" while strace is running. Any other information is welcome too.
