gnome-disk-utility is not supposed to be run as root anyways, but if you want to have this fixed you should provide backtraces.

I'm not sure if I did the thing you asked. gdb gnome-disks, r, bt full - this is what you meant?

Can't reproduce your bug here, but looking at the warnings in your terminal, this is triggered by a 3rd party theme.

I logged to XFCE as root and I could run gnome-disks like 15 times without any problem. Problem occurs when I log to XFCE as regular user, then switch to root in console using su and run gnome-disks.

I can't reproduce the bug: appending or not sudo gnome-disks starts without problem
* gnome-disk-utility-3.14.0-1
* gtk3-3.14.5-1

gnome-disk-utility isn't supposed to be run as root, it doesn't come with polkit authorization stuff for nothing.

Anyways, this is caused by a buggy theme, I can't reproduce it on the default adwaita theme shipped with GNOME, so I don't think it's a bug in gtk or gnome-disk-utility.

It seems like I have more problems of this type on my arch installation (recently psensors closed also with segmentation-fault).
