#  Purpose:  Perform appropriate startup of GParted executable gpartedbin.
#
#            On systems with hal-lock, use hal-lock to acquire device
#            locks prior to running gpartedbin.
#            This is to prevent devices from being automounted.
#            File system problems can occur if devices are mounted
#            prior to the completion of GParted's operations.
#            See GParted bug #324220
#            http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324220
#
#            On systems without hal-lock, invoke gpartedbin directly.
#

#
#  Search PATH to determine if hal-lock program can be found
