Currently the only way to eject/unmount things *is* through a context menu. Adding more, as you say, wont make things better of course. I really really feel that something has to be done about this. It is horrible, and I'm ashamed each time I try to explain it to new comers. I've always thought that notification area icons for removable drives was the way to go. These could be managed by gnome-volume-manager. People typically object to this if they have "permanent" usb storage devices connected. To this end there should probably be a way to disable icons for given devices. The n-a-icons would pop up the same menu on right and left clicks. Maybe even pop up a pestering notification bubble about properly ejecting the device when the device is mounted.
