When all the partitions on a disk device have been unmounted, the notification area should display that the item is safe to be ejected (for a good 10 seconds until timeout - also disappears once the device has been removed). Currently Jaunty display the "safe to remove <device name>" dialog in the middle of the screen. This is not very sleek and does not work consistently (on some disks only). In the spirit of usability, there should be a discussion started concerning how to inform the user that a drive cannot be unmounted because a *specific* application is using it.
