Comment 3 for bug 617885

@Lito: Could you please check if this bug is really gone for you? I could start up gparted successfully one time, but any other time I get:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ gksu gparted
======================
libparted : 2.3
======================

glibmm-ERROR **:
unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:
what: basic_string::_S_create

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy gparted
