Title:
  gnome-disks should display a copyable disk UUID

Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I needed to get the UUID of my swap partition (to compare and/or
  supply it to the `swapon` command). So I ran Ubuntu `disks`. When I
  click my swap partition, Disks shows some useful info about the
  partition (which I can copy, yay, but only field-by-field, boo!).  But
  the panel doesn't show the device UUID. It should.

  As a poor workaround, if I choose gears icon > Edit partition, the
  dialog has a Type drop-down with "Linux Swap (0657fblah-blah-blah)" in
  it. But I can't copy that, so I have to retype it, which is silly on a
  computer.

  The advanced workaround is to root around in /dev/disk/by-ThisAndThat.
