Hi,

I just saw the link to gparted on the parted homepage 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html#links)

The text states 'gparted is a GTK+ GUI frontend for GNU Parted' which
isn't entirely correct. It makes use of libparted for it's
partitionrelated tasks (detecting/creating/resizing/deleting), but uses
the specific filesystemtools to manipulate the filesystems on these
partitions.

A lot of people think some of the restriction of (lib)parted (e.g. no
ntfs-resizing) also apply to gparted since it's 'only a frontend'.

Is it possible to change this text into something like:
'gparted uses libparted to manipulate disks and partitions'

or something like that.

Thanks in advance :)

Bart (plors)
