Sebastien made a valid point (Although I would prefer for myself that
the windows just close automatically). How about this proposal:

When I unmount a volume, the right area of a nautilus window (with the
files) goes gray, with a message in the center like "Please wait while
writing data to the device" or "The device is being prepared for
removal" (for writable devices). After unmounting is complete, the
message changes to "The device can now be safely removed" (For non-
ejectable devices) or "The CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/whatever has been ejected"
with a "Close window" button below.

- The window would not disappear "magically"
- The "Close window" button is bigger than the little [X] and thus is easier to 
hit, as in most cases this is what the user wants anyways.
- The status of the unmount process is displayed where the user probably had 
the attention before: in the nautilus window. As unmounting a volume is in our 
case triggered manually from within nautilus, I do not consider this a "global" 
event to appear as a black notification bubble in the upper right corner.

Ciao
