 Anaconda removed shrink option from guided part, now you need to do custom
 part to achieve it. The test cases must be adjusted to reflect that. See
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=891881

 Note this is a temporary change for F18, I believe it's planned to come
 back in F19. So we may want to go with admon boxes or something, not
 permanent changes.

Comment (by adamwill):

 Oh, and the dualboot_with_windows test case really shouldn't include using
 Anaconda shrink at all, as it's actually not intended to cover the shrink
 function. It should be modified so that you start the test case with a
 Windows install and some free space, I believe.

 Temporary changes tend to become permanent :-) Let's adjust again when/if
 anaconda changes.

 Even though I personally don't feel great about this approach, it was part
 of the changes I made in that test case. I plan to start discussion about
 it later.

Comment (by adamwill):

 kparal: it's very unlikely to become permanent. The whole newUI design
 expects shrink to be available in 'guided partitioning'. removing it for
 f18 final was an ugly hack to deal with
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875944 . I don't believe
 anaconda team considers it acceptable that shrink is only possible via
 custom, but it was not practical to fix this properly for f18 in the time
 available.

Comment:

 From F19 onwards shrink was back in guided partitioning, so we don't need
 to change anything any more; the relevant test cases have all been poked
 since then anyway, I think.
