Bug Description

I got it when I tried to apply another operation while there is already an operation running. I was moving a partition and realized that gparted was allowing me to do another operation, so I tried, just to test. And I got this after press apply and try to cancel the second one.

Only one GParted process is *supposed* to be permitted to run at any one time. From testing the gparted 0.11.0 package in ubuntu 12.04, I can confirm that multiple running copies of GParted are permitted.

An enhancement was made to GParted 0.16.2 that permits only one instance of GParted to execute at a time. Following is a link to the relevant upstream bug report that also contains the "permit only one running instance" patch.

gparted doesn't inhibit systemd mounting, leading to potential data loss

GParted 0.16.2 was released upstream on September 18, 2013.
