Issue description

I ran gnome3.gnome-disk-utility via nix-shell -p gnome3.gnome-disk-utility --run gnome-disks.
I tried formatting a usb drive (by selecting it on the left, then selected "Format Disk" in the hamburger menu. After pressing the "Format…" button and asking for final confirmation, gnome-disk-utility complains about being unable to find parted. Passing -p parted to nix-shell doesn't help either.
