According to parted documentation, only "msdos" and "dvh" disk
types (or partition table types) support extended partitions.
All other disk types support primary partitions only.
The ability to paste into an existing partition was disabled in
v0.4.0. This ability has been re-enabled along with a warning
dialog that indicates the data in the existing partition will be
lost if the copy and paste operation is applied.

Add my own copyright entries for files in which I changed source
code. Files in which I only made spelling changes do not have my
copyright entry added.
When used with parted-2.0, GParted would display a warning
message indicating "kernel unable to re-read partition table" on
every device scan for each device with at least one partition
mounted. Device scans occur when GParted starts up, immediately
after a series of actions are applied, and upon manually invoked
device refreshes. This, I believe, is excessive notification to
the user and would be annoying.
Improve the feedback to the user when creating or pasting a
partition on a device with no partition table found.
Prior to this enhancement if a user tried to create or paste a
partition onto a device with no partition table found, GParted
would present the user with a Create Partition Table dialog.
When creating a new partition this could cause confusion for
users who were trying to format the disk. The user could
mistakenly believe the choice of an MS-DOS file system was being
presented.
Similarly on a paste operation it could be confusing to be
presented with a dialog to create a partition table without any
explanation of why a partition table was suddenly required in the
midst of the paste operation.
Neither the new partition creation, nor the partition paste
actions were performed after the Create Partition Table dialog
was displayed.
To further minimize the chance of accidentally creating a new partition
table, the following steps have been taken:
1) Rename non-standard Create button to stock Apply button.
2) Remove extra warning about erasing entire disk device.
3) Update GParted Manual accordingly.

If translated language is relatively long, then split the "Resize/Move" toolbar button text into two lines, and do not display the "Undo" button.

Thanks to Sebastion Kraft for designing the icons.
Thanks to Michael Monreal for the small patch to make use of themed app icon from hicolor.

* include/Makefile.am,

src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/Makefile.am,
src/Win_GParted.cc,
include/OperationCheck.h (new),
src/OperationCheck.cc (new): added 'check' operation. The
functionality was already there, but it was not possible yet to
activate it from the gui.
* implemented some stuff to find a good blocksize to use for
copy/move. Actually i'm not really happy with it, because probing
seems suboptimal, but it's better than nothing. As soon as i have
some time i should do some research on the subject to find a better
solution.
