Bug Description

Binary package hint: gparted

1. Run gparted.
2. Unmount a partition on a pendrive (with gparted).
3. Try to format it

When I try to apply changes in the partitions, the partition gets automatically mounted (a desktop icon shows up) and gparted fails with this error:

--- cut here ---
Error while formattting filesystem of /dev/sda1

Be aware that the failure to apply this operation could affect other operations on the list.
