But software as e.g. menulibre and cinnamon-menu-editor do show /usr/sbin/gparted %f, so assumed I would use xfce4-appfinder to launch gparted on JWM, it would launch /usr/sbin/gparted %f and _not_ /usr/bin/gparted_polkit %f. I kept the default, didn't edit this entry, it definitively is /usr/sbin/gparted %f . IOW the menu's default might be /usr/bin/gparted_polkit %f for the DE you're using, but for e.g. Xfce4 users (xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu and xfce4-popup-whiskermenu) it is /usr/sbin/gparted %f.
I just launched polkit from the xfce menu and it ran /usr/bin/gparted_polkit %f as expected. I wouldn't use anything who's authors decided to ignore the system and run whatever the hell they wanted.
My current Arch Linux + Xfce4 was installed in February 2013. It's up to date, but there were a few changes in the meanwhile (e.g. for the FHS). Perhaps there was a change from /usr/sbin/gparted %f to /usr/bin/gparted_polkit %f, but then the updates didn't modify an existing Xfce4 menu.
