Title:
  usage of mixed units (bytes, MiB, GiB) for file size and space

Status in Baobab:
  New
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Confirmed
Status in Nautilus:
  Confirmed
Status in The synaptic package manager:
  New
Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  gnome-utils 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
  gparted 0.5.1-1ubuntu2
  nautilus 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1
  synaptic 0.63.1ubuntu6

  
  Several programs show mixed units in the same table. This is impractical and confusing as you have to compare manually. Please see the attached screenshots for examples.

  A simple solution would be to use one default unit (for each program):
  GParted: GiB
  Nautilus & baobab: MiB
  Synaptic: KiB
