gpart is not a GNOME desktop application. gnome-vfs is the library used
by the GNOME desktop to work with drives, volumes, etc. It has a
gnome_vfs_format_file_size_for_display() which "Formats the file size
passed so that it is easy for the user to read. Gives the size in bytes,
kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes, choosing whatever is appropriate.".
The desktop applications are using this library. You can read
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301838 about the units used
and the cange you request. You can rebuild the package with your own set
of changes if you want though
