GParted vs QTParted

The Story
I run Kubuntu in a VM using VMware Player on my laptop. When I originally set it up I only created a 4GB drive to use for root and swap. Unfortunately this became a problem when I wanted to dist-upgrade from Edgy to Feisty.
My solution was to download VMware Server and expand the virtual disk to 10GB.

That's hardly surprising
Since QTParted hasn't been updated since 2004, per its changelog, that's not a surprise. It seems to be a dead app.
