Just a short comment:

I tested the usb-creator-gtk in Saucy (yesterday's version) now. I had
to use it twice (both times wiping with 'Erase disk') to succeed. The
first time it crashed early, the second time it created a good boot
drive (from the Lubuntu Saucy 32-bit desktop iso) and then crashed with
segmentation fault.

Best regards
Nio
