[Bug 1094354] Re: gparted crashes on startup (complains of GTK2 and 3)

[Michael Zverina]

I think it may be something handling authentication over, cause gparted
crashes after entering password in authentication window in my case.

I observed, following: start gparted via terminal with sudo command: # sudo gparted >result is gparted starts without crashing. 
maybe terminal links other .so , .so as mentioned before...
looks like this:

# sudo gparted
# [sudo] password for nine: 
# ======================
# libparted : 2.3
# ======================


Hope this helps. I'm in semestrial exams, so NO time for testing and so on... :(
