Marking this as "Won't Fix" is no solution, as the package is pretty
much useless in this state. If PolicyKit is no option, then the Ubuntu
packagers could at least change the .desktop file to call gnome-format
through gksudo. I know it's not the recommended way now, but people can
expect packages

GNOME Disk Utility, a plugin for Nautilus,
My solution to this same problem:
/dev/sdc or whatever your flash drive is using is owned by user:root group:disk
By default in Ubuntu your user is not part of the group "disk"
As best I can tell, you can't add yourself to the "disk" group with
