Ah, I'm sorry I misunderstood. If it's properly warning people not to
disconnect/eject, it should be a progress window rather than a
notification *or* an alert box.

** Description changed:

  gnome-mount 0.8-1ubuntu1, Ubuntu Jaunty
  
- When a removable storage device is disconnected or removed without first
- being unmounted, gnome-mount puts up a "Writing data to device"
- notification that asks you not to do what you've already done. Because
- it is persistent, Notify OSD renders this notification as a suboptimal
- fallback alert box.
+ When a removable storage device is taking non-trivial time to unmount
+ (flushing the cache), gnome-mount puts up a "Writing data to device"
+ notification asking you not to disconnect it while that's happening.
+ Because it is persistent, Notify OSD renders this notification as a
+ suboptimal fallback alert box.
  
- Instead, gnome-mount should use a proper error alert box with less
- futile text.
+ Instead, gnome-mount should use a progress window containing the warning
+ text.
  
  It may save time to fix bug 325315 at the same time as this bug.

Bug description:
gnome-mount 0.8-1ubuntu1, Ubuntu Jaunty

When a removable storage device is taking non-trivial time to unmount (flushing 
the cache), gnome-mount puts up a "Writing data to device" notification asking 
you not to disconnect it while that's happening. Because it is persistent, 
Notify OSD renders this notification as a suboptimal fallback alert box.

Instead, gnome-mount should use a progress window containing the warning text.

It may save time to fix bug 325315 at the same time as this bug.
