gparted won't let you adjust or move any partition that is currently
mounted. Seeing as you want to adjust the root partition you will need
to get a live CD, boot without mounting any local partitions, then use
gparted to adjust your partitions as appropriate.
But I would back up you data first anyway just in case, I have come
across the occasional corruption issue :)
