gparted/qtparted are just gui wrappers for parted - so there's no reason to
be afraid of qtparted just because it _may_ not be as mature as gparted,
and why install all the gnome support just for a partitioning tool?

Which is what I do too.  I don't bother to keep a partitioner on my live
system, because it's highly unlikely I'll ever use it.
