Also, I'm indebted to you for discovering this and hassling me until I
managed to reproduce it locally. :-)

Thanks for re-testing! This is very good news. I've filed bug 47876
about the empty error dialog.

I can finally report some good news. Now every time I try (using the
latest CD), I get the attached error dialog. The dialog is blank and
doesn't have any GUI buttons, but if I close it from the title bar,
ubiquity takes me back to the manual partition screen *and* my hard disk
isn't hosed.
Just out of interest, did gparted display an error that it failed to
resize the NTFS filesystem? I can reproduce this problem here, but only
with an error displayed by gparted (and yes, it does then go on to
damage the NTFS filesystem).

I think this should fix it, but I'd appreciate confirmation. At least,
it ought to fix it for anyone who actually gets an error from gparted
when the resize fails. If gparted doesn't even notice at all that the
resize fails, then there is a much deeper problem ...

Cool, downloading the latest CD now, and will try it in the a.m. Thanks
a ton for your diligence on trying to fix this before release... but, I
don't think gparted has been emitting error codes in most of my tests so
I don't know if the latest patch will help.
Not to be alarmist... ;-) but I'm
