gnome-disks fails to work with filesystems

[josephk]

gnome-disks fails to delete,add,modify,format partitions or to rewrite partition table on an esternal drive.

in my case, after a dd command to copy a hybrid iso, I can't modify my usb stick filesystem layout because of gnome-disks crashing during operation with (udisks-error-quark, 0) message

gparted works as expected.

I remember that it didn't work in precise pangolin too.
On previous versions it destroyed 2 or 3 times my hd mbr after a simple removal of a partition.
It looks like an incredibly buggy and extrimely dangerous piece of software..

It could be because we have udsisk and udisk2 installed in parallel.

Confirmed on 13.04. gnome-disks is pretty much unusable, can't even format a USB flash drive. gparted has no issues doing so.
