Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: qtparted
One can install qtparted via the built-in applications catalogue. This
suggests that this is a fully integrated easy-to-use program.
However, when you try to start it, it denies working due to insuffient
privileges. You can only start it via terminal ('sudo qtparted').
GNOME programs do it this way: When privileges are needed, a window
shows up and you can enter your sudo password and proceed. IMHO all
programs should behave like that if they ship with Ubuntu. Everything
else is inconsistent and irritates the user. Are there any issues that
would prevent you from making qtparted behave like the usual GNOME
programs (eg gparted) in this aspect?
** Affects: qtparted (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

Intrepid: qtparted can only be started via command line because privileges are
not being asked for the normal way
