Comment # 9 on bug 920510 from Bruno Pesavento

Confirming gparted not running from gnome-shell and running from root terminal
in Tumbleweed 20150403 (and possibly 20150330).
Using Gnome 3.16, Gnome-session (non-wayland), reproducible always.
Other apps requiring root permission to access some resources (for instance
modem-manager-gui) segfault from gnome shell but run ok from root terminal.
