Hi guys,
My name is Christian and I'm the main developer of media-applet a small 
utility for gnome that handles removable devices and local disks. 
http://live.gnome.org/media-applet

In order to satisfy requests of people using media-applet, I'm working 
to introduce a better notification system that notifies people when a 
device is unmounted.

I have already made this on the latest svn release of my project, but I 
have an annoying problem:  *gnome mount* notifies users that they can 
remove the device only when a device that require writing data to disk 
is unmounted (after all data has been written on it), but this way I got 
2 notifications telling the same thing to the users, the first from 
gnome-mount and the second from media-applet.
See this Screenshot for a better understanding

/Since I think that gnome-mount is the proper place for handling this 
kind of notification don't you think that it could be useful for users 
to introduce in gnome-mount a notification that *always* //appears// 
when a device is unmounted and not only when you unmount a device that 
need some data to be written on it?/

Maybe this could be a user-activable feature through gconf.

If a device is unmounted with an application different from nautilus 
(for example using media-applet :) ) there is no feedback telling you 
that the device was unmounted and a notification could be very useful.


Thanks for your attention,
Cheers
Christian/
