Your thread came up as the third hit on a google search for zenity, xargs and printf, so I thought I'd better post the solution. This block is for showing partitions rather than drives, and it displays the partitions in the correct order. Previous attempts using the '-printf' option of find showed them in some strange order.

Code:
find /dev -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1  -name "*[sh]d[a-z][0-9]"  | sort | awk '{ printf "FALSE""\0"$0"\0" }' | \
xargs -0 zenity --list --title="Root Partition" --text="Choose a partition to use for the installation of the operating system." \
--radiolist --multiple --column ' ' --column 'Partitions'
