At this point you should've gotten a prompt by PolicyKit (KDE Agent) for your 
(user) password and after that, you should've seen:
> "Using backend plugin: pmsfdiskbackendplugin (1)"

And after that you should see your partitions loaded in the GUI.

So maybe you're missing a required program? I don't know which, but check 
whether you have 'udisks2' and/or 'policykit-1' installed.

BTW: it looks like it's not properly responding to the 'Cancel' button and a 
failed 'login' attempt brings back the password dialog. Endlessly AFAICT.
After (way?) more then 5 attempts for each, the only way out appears to be to 
provide the correct password.
I'd say that's a bug too, but a different one.
