Not sure which tool you mean by "gnome-disks".  There is
gnome-disk-utility...?

Anyway, I tried using that to create a bootable USB disk from the wily .img
file I had.  It ran to completion without error, but the disk wouldn't
boot; all I saw was a flashing cursor.  As far as I can tell I followed a
reasonable procedure e.g.
http://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-make-a-live-usb-stick-using-gnome-disks/

In sum, so far only unetbootin is doing the job for me.
