This is due to the kernel keeping a pool of reserved blocks that only
root can invade in case of emergency. You can use tune2fs to configure
the amount of reserved space, which defaults to 5%.

So now that we know what is causing the problem, wouldn't that confirm
the bug, as one of the tools isn't respecting the reserved blocks?

No, gparted is technically correct as those blocks are actually free;
the kernel just won't let non root users use them. There is also a
separate bug in nautilus involving this issue here:

Rob, following is some information for how GParted determines the unused
space in a partition.
For the ext4 file system GParted uses the following command to retrieve
information:
dumpe2fs -h /path-to-partition
Where /path-to-partition is something like /dev/sda3
Then GParted parses the
I should mention that in my case the disagreement isn't just about free
space, but about partition sizes as well.

in my case. I had a 320 GB drive on my laptop, and then upgraded to a
new laptop with a 500 GB drive. df and nautelis seems to think I still
have the old drive, while gparted thinks I have the new drive. I think

But df is still displaying weird numbers:

I'm not sure this is a GParted bug?
It seems like GParted thinks 750 - 711 = 39 (I've rounded the numbers a
bit, but should be good enough to get the idea), while df nautilus
think 740 - 700 = 1.8, which seems odd to me. I'm not sure which is
correct, but if df is correct about the available
