Hm, but that sounds like the wrong thing to me for this particular
case, since the user isn't supposed to do two additional clicks just
after unmounting?

Should it be an unfocused window with just a bouncing progress bar,
which automatically goes away once umount is done?

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.
