Comment (by bebop):

 We have the parameters panel framework pretty much there, maybe we could
 create a menu item named properties and have a params panel displayed for
 that. For this specific case we could display:
 - a switch for active partition
 - the size of the partition
 - partition type
 - a name field if supported
 - an icon to represent partition type or partitioning system type?

 A problem I see with this would be, would you get the partitions
 information or the file systems information if the selected partition had
 a file system. Obvious for setting active partition bit you would want the
 partition, but I could see wanting to be able to set properties of the
 file system as well. Maybe a dialog with one on top of the other? I am
 curious as to how other people think about how this should be solved.
