Assume a desktop system with multiple hard drives where each hard drive 
contains several ext4 partitions.
Mounting a single one of those partitions under 12.04 will result in ONLY the 
icon for the newly mounted partition to be temporarily added to the launcher 
icons. When that partition is unmounted, the icon will go away. Launching 
gparted will NOT cause an icon for one or more partitions to be added to the 
launcher. When gparted is used to unmount a partition, that partition's icon 
will be removed. Correct behavior.

Change the environment to a LiveCD or an installed version of 12.10 or
13.04 and things change drastically. Launching gparted will cause ALL
partitions on the drive containing the currently running OS to be locked
to the launcher. However, the swap partition and the partition
containing the currently running OS will not be included.

1. Gracefully shutting down gparted will NOT cause the unwanted icons to be 
removed.
2. Restarting the OS will NOT cause the unwanted icons to be removed.

In defense of gparted, this appears to be the default behavior for a
LiveCD and for an initial start following a fresh install.  Fixing this
problem will kill two birds with one stone.
