Version 3.80.0 is easier to debug with gdb too.

In version 3.3, when you start partitionmanager, it starts another instance of
partitionmanager which runs as root. It could be that your gdb was attached to
the wrong intance of partitionmanager.

Version 4 beta also has two processes but different ones. One is
partitionmanager process which is most of the code and a small daemon
(kpmcore_externalcommandhelper) which runs as root. And the good  thing is that
even if partitionmanager crashes or is killed, kpmcore_externalcommandhelper
will keep running until it finishes current job (not the whole operation, just
particular job, but that's already much safer).
