Hi Felix

Possibly - the whole partitioning process is preceded by a suitable warning 
that you should be an expert in disk organsiation prior to using it, but I 
still think keeping deleted partitions in the list, flagged as "about to be 
deleted", would be a fairly simple change and one that helps even an expert 
user.

I'll file a bug tomorrow and see what happens.  Lets hope you're wrong :)

Cheers

Pete
