If I went to a Doctor, I wouldn't expect to have to prompt him to find 
out if he thought there was a problem.

Gparted flags that there is an error while gdisk expects you to notice 
it. Gparted offers a solution. Gdisk just sits there waiting for you to 
learn enough to find out how to fix it. Both offer the same control. The 
difference is that gparted does it in a friendlier manner.
