i was happy to help though the av stuff is mostly lost on me, i hadn't really seen enlightenment since switching from bodhi to mx a few years back. looked quite lovely and well put together. thank you for the work you do in creating and sharing it.

cannot confirm this to be an issue with an iso downloaded today and tested in a virtual machine. gparted opens as expected from the menu as well as just by running the command without sudo which then opens the aforementioned gui auth window that does work. i did do a quick sum check just to be sure ...
