This only works if MBR happens to be the default partition table for the verson of gparted you're using... i don't think its the default in Ubuntu 14.04's gparted :o (GPT now i think?)

MBR (GParted calls it "msdos") is the default in every version of GParted I've used, including the one in Ubuntu 14.04. You're right to point out that it might change (or even have changed) at some point, though. If so, the partition table type can be changed in the dialog box that appears after you perform step #3 in my procedure; simply change it in the "Select new partition table type" field.
