Try apt-file:

        $ apt-file search udisks2-inhibit
        udisks2: /usr/lib/udisks2/udisks2-inhibit

The problem is very easy to reproduce:

        create VM with blank hard drive and boot xubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
        sudo gparted
        device > create partition table
        partition > new, create 20MB ext4
        apply

Result: as soon as "apply" is clicked, the partition is created, and XFCE file manager (Thunar) mounts the 
partition, even though gparted is still running

> sudo /usr/lib/udisks2/udisks2-inhibit /usr/sbin/gpartedbin

Yes, this appears to fix the problem - as tested above, partitions are
created but Thunar does not open.

Title:
  Xubuntu install fail due partition auto mount defeats Gparted

  Confirmed
Status in gparted package in Ubuntu:

Status in thunar package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Wanted to install Xbuntu 12.10 along side Win 7 and Ubuntu 12.10.
  Needed to create 4 further partitions (boot,swap,/ and home) in a pre-
  exsisting extended partition. Booted from a Xubuntu 12.10 Live CD on
  my HP Envy Sleekbook and ran up Gparted.

  What I expected to happen:
  I expected to be able to shrink a 230gig partition and create 4 additional partitions. To my surprise the extended partition was already mounted when I selected unmount partition in Gparted, Gparted completed the action but then Xubuntu remounted it automatically and opened a filemanager window for every other partition as well.

  What happened instead:
   I found I could not unmount any partition without it being automatically remounted.

  Installed Xbuntu 12.10 on my Desktop (clean install from a CD). Using
  Gparted I cannot unmount a spare partition without Xubuntu
  automatically remounting it.

  The Automount feature needs an operator control to allow use of
  Gparted.
