Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-format
Dear friends,
The entry for gnome-format in the menu is just 'gnome-format'. That runs gnome-format with no permissions to actually format anything.
Perhaps it should run as root using gksu? This is a tool I would love to recommend to my clients but it is funny to explain to them that they shouldn't run it from the menu but instead press <Alt>+F2 and type in 'gksu gnome-format'.
Blessings.

Gnome Format is not being actively developed anymore.
Please have a look at the Gnome Disk Utility, it is far more feature complete and will be part of Gnome 2.28.
