I have no idea what you might be causing the problem for you. Can you run it successfully from the terminal?

It works perfectly fine for me in gnome-shell, both from 'Activities section' or from the terminal.

Comment 2 Vratislav Podzimek 2011-06-15 13:20:47 UTC

My apologize, it was caused by gparted installed only "partially" -- I later realized that there is an incomplete transaction in yum. Completing it solved the problem.
