Partitioning very confusing in Kubuntu install

Bug Description

When installing Kubuntu from the desktop CD, the manual partitioning screen is far to confusing. When QtParted starts, I can edit my partions just fine. However, after committing the changes QtParted stays open. If I close QtParted, then hit the next button in the installer, it tells me that QtParted crashed and restarts it. It turns out that I'm supposed to leave QtParted open, switch to the installer, then hit next. This is very unintuitive. QtParted should close when the changes are finished committing, and the installer should automatically go to the next step.

Just to note... it seems this has been fixed in herd 5, which has an all new partitioning system for the installer. I guess we can close this bug. :)
