Bug Description
Binary package hint: gparted
When you execute gparted or make a change in gparted and hit apply, a scan of all drives is done. This causes an issue in karmic due to the recent switch (in karmic) to devicekit-disks.
This seems to send a "mount this partition" signal to devicekit-disks which tries to mount all drives, asking for password for each drive. A user has to close many notifications (2x the number of unmounted partitions). Foe example, if you have 8 unmounted partitions, you will have to close 16 nagging notification 1 for each password dialog and 1 for each "Not authorized" dialog.
See attached screenshot for more details.

Hi, I have a similar problem with karmic 64bit. it mounts the partitions that I want to mount, but it asks for the password[didn't happen in 9.04], and despite successfully mounting them, it says that it wasn't able to mount them, as it's not authorised to do so. Please let me know if you need further information. I am willing to help/retest.
cheers,
