[gparted] 0.11.0-2 crashes from Menu but launches from Terminal

[asilentninja]

When using Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon, 64-bit, launching gparted 0.11.0-2 from the Menu doesn't work. After typing in my password a window appears then immediately closes.

gparted starts successfully when running "sudo gparted" from Terminal.

This could be a problem with the gparted entry in the Menu.

This happens whenever I launch gparted from the Menu.

Reproduce:
1) Install Mint 13 64-bit with Cinnamon.
2) Install gparted from Software Manager.
3) Launch from Menu.

I found the command that the Menu entry uses: "gparted-pkexec".

Ran this in Terminal and got the error below, and it crashed the same way as I reported above.

~ $ gparted-pkexec

(process:32292): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.

Running "gksu gparted" prompts for the Administrator password and doesn't crash gparted.
