Random plans and ideas for 1.1 and beyond:
Plans and ideas for 1.1:
* Information about file system on a separate tab in the properties, unique
to the file system in use.
* Check if no of sectors fits in an unsigned 32 bit int for msdos partition
tables.
* The KPart works but has problems: The context menus don't show up, the status
bar is missing, maybe more.
* save msdos mbr?
* let the user specify extern command locations and options in the settings;
use some program and binary management setup internally like k3b has it
* parse progress information at least from e2fsck and ntfsclone (do we use the
latter at all? if not we should); maybe others.
* offer a) no alignment of partition boundaries at all or b) legacy cylinder
alignment or c) sector based alignment (the name is misleading, though)
===============================================================================
Bugs to fix for 1.1:
* copy&paste seems broken wrt alignment when copying from cylinder aligned to
sector aligned drives (maybe even more than that)
===============================================================================
For releases after 1.1:
* write a setup-kcm in the style of k3b's so that the user can set the r/w
permissions of the disks there; also use kauth to update the partition table
in the kernel. that should cover all cases where we actually need root
privileges now.
* The whole lvm/dm debacle.

hopefully be able to get meaningful progress status reporting while resizing,
checking and so on.
