A free GUI solution to resizing disk partitions

According to this page:

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php

...GParted can shrink HFS+ file systems but it can't grow them.

Also, we should careful about the terminology here since it's important for understanding partition and file system management. HFS+ is a file system, not a type of partition as mentioned in another comment.
