My experiences have been that Gparted is good for systems running Windows XP, but it basically destroys Vista. I don't know if the version of Gparted I had was old and out of date, but on the two laptops I tried it on Vista became unusable and had to be restored. Vista has a built-in tool for shrinking it that proved to work successfully.
Just make sure the version of Gparted you're considering plays well with Vista before you put any serious work into porting it!
