There are a couple of things.
One important but overlooked usecase is offline repartioning. Modifing
the disk partioning is imposiple on a live disk(maybe with lvm). Its
nice to to have a equivalent of gparted live available for such works.
Just an FYI since people are responding on the ticket and here in the mailing list, but I mentioned in the ticket that I use gparted on a regular basis from System Rescue CD. If this was built into the live media (or dedicated rescue media) then I wouldn't need to do that.
Thanks,
Richard
