gparted is a GUI tool intended to be run as root.
And we have seen what happens when it is.
That it works perfectly, as designed.
It increses the risk of things leaking to other user's on the system, if not done
properly.
As to running gparted as a regular user ...
$ ls -l /dev/sd?
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 48 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sdd
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 64 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sde
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 80 Jul 8 20:54 /dev/sdf
I think member's of the disk group can do it as a regular user, but I have not
tested it to see if there are other issues.
