The issue is fixed in gparted version 0.30, but not in the latest ubuntu package which is of version 0.28 in artful. Also, according to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776437, the package must be compiled with --enable-xhost-root. It would be great if the maintainer (Curtis Gedak) could take a look at this.
