That works, but before an authentication dialog popped-up that seemed specific for gparted (I have gksu & ktsuss installed from SBo but they present other dialogs) and that is absent now, making the gparted-icon in the System-menu to appear as dead. It also does not produce another kind of error-message. Something seems broken what was working before the most recent polkit-updates....
from a terminal as user
"gksu /usr/sbin/gparted" lets gparted start but not with any suitable permissions.
"ktsuss /usr/sbin/gparted" does work, i.e. gparted starts with ability to modify partitions.
hmmm, do you get an authentication dialog when trying to open gparted as a user (runlevel4 or in 3 after startx) from the menu? Do you have kde running /completely installed? I have not, only some libs for some games and assessories; Kcalc is what I used most from that suite.
