[Bug 1060484] Re: When using gparted com.canonical.Unity.Devices blacklist is set back to Default of []

[Doug McMahon]

The only difference between disks & gparted is the syncing/refreshing occurs when gparted is opened, disk's only does so once some action (partitioning) has occurred. 
At the end of the day unity will clear the blacklist if any partitioning takes place so 'solving' this has limited benefit anyway. 
(let you open gparted, look around, rename without clearing list

If ubuntu still allowed 3 options (all, none, individual- 'only when
mounted') for locking to the launcher maybe this wouldn't be happening
but that was/is another bug that's unlikely to be 'fixed'
