As Curtis explained: the default save location is the home directory of
the user 'root' (because GParted is run as root), and the problem of the
original reporter seems to be that he doesn't know how to navigate to
that directory (which is not his fault, as it's not obvious for somebody
new too Ubuntu/linux).

The real solution for such problems is not running GParted as root, but
that would require a complete redesign of GParted...

Curtis: maybe offering to open the HTML page in the default browser could be 
useful too?
(Or maybe we can save the log to /var/log/* by default?)

** Changed in: gparted (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
