I can testify that Gparted does do all of the above.  I just dis that
last night.  i had two ext3 partitions and a swap on my hard drive.  I
deleted the second, empty, ext3 partition, then moved the swap to the
end of the drive and extended my primary partition to use the rest of
the drive.  After abour half an hour all came back successfull.  I used
a livecd to do this.  When all looked correctly i rebooted to the HD and
all has been fine and dandy since.
