I'll also give some more detailed feedback for the gtk version.

In the partitioning screen it seems that the "create", "dump to console" and 
"remove partition" buttons are alligned just below the device output. It 
would be more consistent (esp. with differing output sizes) to allign them to 
the bottom of the content box, just above the legend.

For consistency the local action buttons should actually get their own 
position. In this case the legend should probably move to another place. 
Maybe a vertical box along the right side.

To give them their own position makes the interface look more quiet, although 
care must be taken to make this row of buttons not a part of the lower 
general button structure.

For the same consistency reasons (like pages in a book having the same content 
size, even if the line numbers are different) the network mounts screen (and 
all other screens) should also have an explanation, and all explanations 
should be roughly the same size (in lines), so that the contents can start at 
the same position.

As said before, it allready looks great (just can be better (allways 
true :-) ))!!!!
