There is Gparted & the new, unfortunately named "partitionmanager". And command-line parted. And don't forget gpart - used for guessing partitions when partition table is hosed.
One of the best, most reliable distributions for fiddling with with partitions has been knoppix. Haven't tried it in about 4-5 mos.
Gparted relies on libparted and underlying file system utilities to do the work. So, if you don't have everything installed, and are running a livecd, you may be out of luck.
QTparted had more stuff built-in. So, there was a tighter integration. Since they worked in different ways, sometimes one would work where the other refused or crashed. But it is apparently unmaintained and Ubuntu just deprecated it.
