Really, the design of newUI custom partitioning is basically the same
except that the existing partitions are shown on the left and the stuff
that's in SUSE's 'edit partitions' dialog is on the right of the same
page rather than in a separate dialog. That's all there is to it, it's
no more complex than that.
