 	Maybe one of you will know. I installed qtparted in U7, 
and both times it would launch from its icon, but with an error 
message including something like "Maybe you're not root?" -- and 
then the launch was useless -- it got no info.

 	If I launched it as root with "qtparted &" I got a 
different error.
