Bug Description
* Impact
gnome-disk-utility sometime displays the wrong partitons informations
* Test case
On a system with an extended partition start gparted, close it and start gnome-disk-utility, the layout displayed should be correct
* Regression potential
check that partitions handling is still working correctly in g-d-u
-------
The partitions displayed by gnome-disk-utility are wrong. When i use gparted the partitions displayed are correct.
The display became wrong after i deleted 1 partition from the disk using gnome-disk-utility.
Here is a screenshot of the 2 tools vision of the same disk:

I get *very nervous* when tools that have write access to partitions can't display them properly.
Good hunt
